Getting to Mazzo di Rho from Arese
The natural route is the SS33 Sempione, which from central Arese reaches Mazzo di Rho in about 10 minutes over 6 km. For those leaving from the industrial zone or the mall area, the A52 (Northern Ring Road) with the Lainate-Arese exit is slightly faster outside peak times. Note: in the late afternoon the mall’s evening exit creates predictable queues on A52 between 6:30 and 8 PM.
Arese in a nutshell
The defining figure for Arese is the ratio between municipal size (19,000 inhabitants) and the scale of what it hosts: Il Centro shopping mall (92,000 sqm of retail surface, among the largest in Italy) and the former Alfa Romeo plant under redevelopment. This creates traffic well above what a town of this size would normally see, with consequences for cars: minor parking knocks, trolley scratches, low-speed collisions on the roundabouts leading to the mall. A meaningful share of our Arese clientele comes in for exactly this kind of cosmetic damage.
What Arese customers ask for most
- Body shop touch-ups for parking damage — scratches, trolley dents, low-speed knocks
- Scheduled services on Alfa Romeo and the Stellantis range with original parts and warranty retention
- Polishing and paint restoration for cars often parked outdoors
- Electronic diagnostics on FCA/Stellantis models with proprietary systems
