While Affori was located on a road connecting Milan to Como, this road was secondary, the main thoroughfares passing respectively west of the borgo (the modern Via Bovisasca, which was mostly used for military purposes) and one to the east (the modern Via Giuditta Pasta, for civilian and commercial traffic).
All'epoca tale strada era secondaria rispetto ad altre due vie più importanti (realizzate in epoca romana) che collegano Milano con Como: l'attuale "Bovisasca", deputata al traffico militare, e l'attuale "via Giuditta Pasta" in corrispondenza di Bruzzano, destinata al traffico civile.
