Nosedo (Nosed in Lombard) is a district ("quartiere") of the city of Milan, Italy. It is part of the Zone 4 administrative division, located south of the city centre. Until 1870, it was an autonomous comune. The name comes from the Latin nocetum, meaning "walnut forest", as walnut trees used to be common in the area.
==History== A settlement has been reported to exist in Nosedo since the Middle Ages, when the Goths controlled the Milanese. It is reported that Milanese bishop Onorato was buried in a church of the area in 569, and that the local population tried to seek shelter from the Goths in a church called "San Giorgio al Pozzo" (Saint George by the Pit).
