Broletto is an ancient Italian word, from Medieval Latin "broilum, brogilum", which probably derives from a Celtic word.[vague] Its first meaning is "little orchard or garden"; hence the meaning "field surrounded by a wall".
Ancient broletti are major buildings in Milan, Brescia, Pavia, Piacenza, Como, Monza, Reggio Emilia, Novara and others. Several places or buildings in northern Italy are called "broletto".[vague]
