The Zone 6 of Milan, since 2016 officially Municipality 6 of Milan, (in Italian: Zona 6 di Milano, Municipio 6 di Milano) is one of the 9 administrative divisions of Milan, Italy.[1]

It was officially created as an administrative subdivision during the 1980s. On 14 April 2016, in order to promote a reform on the municipal administrative decentralization, the City Council of Milan established the new Municipality 6, a new administrative body responsible for running most local services, such as schools, social services, waste collection, roads, parks, libraries and local commerce.[2]

On 5 March 1999 the new Zone 6, which corresponds to the south-western part of the city, was made up by the union of the previous Zones 16 (Barona, Ronchetto sul Naviglio), 17 (Lorenteggio, Inganni), and 5 (Porta Ticinese, Porta Genova).
