Ozzero (Milanese: Voeus'ger or Oeus'ger [(ʋ)øzˈdʒeːr] ) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Milan in the Italian region Lombardy, located about 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of Milan. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 1,337 and an area of 11.0 square kilometres (4.2 sq mi). [1]
The comune is a basic administrative division in Italy, roughly equivalent to a township or municipality.
The Province of Milan was a province in the Lombardy region, Italy. Its capital was the city of Milan. The provincial territory was highly urbanized, resulting in the third highest population density among the Italian provinces with more than 2,000 inhabitants/km2, just behind the provinces of Naples and the bordering Monza e Brianza, created in 2004 splitting the north-eastern part from the province of Milan itself. On January 1, 2015 it was replaced by the Metropolitan City of Milan.

The municipality of Ozzero contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Soria vecchia and Bugo.
"Frazione" is the Italian name given in administrative law to a type of territorial subdivision of a comune; for other administrative divisions, see municipio, circoscrizione, quartiere. It is cognate to the English word fraction, but in practice is roughly equivalent to "parishes" or "wards" in other countries.
Cristian Bugatti, also known as Bugo is an Italian singer-songwriter, artist and actor. He spent his youth in the rice fields of Cerano, in the Province of Novara in the Piedmont region. A self-taught artist, Bugo did not attend art or music school. In 2000 he moved to Milan, where he started his musical career. According to AllMusic, Bugo was one of the most interesting and controversial artists to emerge from the Italian independent scene of the 1990s. Although he is beloved by fans and critics, others consider him a comedy act. Blending international sound and Italian lyrics, Bugo became a cantautore (singer-songwriter) of the 2000s who moved the political songs of the 1970s into the disillusioned songwriting of the 2000s. He is considered a pioneer of the Italian singer-songwriter scene, and the neologism fantautore has been coined to describe him.
