During its French domination (1796-1814), the division of the territory was organised into departments, districts and cantons, with Monza being included in the Department of Olona. On January 13, 1812, Moncucco was incorporated into Monza together with Brugherio and San Damiano. With the Restoration, the territory was reorganized into provinces and districts: Monza became part of the Province of Milan. In the nineteenth century Moncucco remained a predominantly agricultural town. Between 1751 and 1856 the cultivation of mulberry spread considerably. The spinning mill of Moncucco was located on the left side of Villa Sormani. Between 1855 and 1873 municipalities were again recorder while new maps were procured: the census was conducted between the end of Austrian domination and the formation of Italy as a unified state. Lombardy, in 1859, with the armistice of Villafranca, was ceded by Austria to the Kingdom of Sardinia, after the War of Independence.
