Mayor Giuseppe Sala made the request following a Mass marking the 75th anniversary of the Gorla massacre, named for the quarter in the city that was struck, the news agency ANSA reported.
Sala said, adding that he would formalize the request with the U.S. consul in Milan this week.
The air raid on Oct. 20, 1944, targeted an industrial complex near the city, but a second wave of bombers went off course and released their bombs southeast of the target to lighten their loads as they returned to base.
One bomb struck the Francesco Crispi elementary school as children raced for shelter.

Would you like ketchup with your dog feces Mayor?
It’s a simple concept. Don’t start wars and you won’t be bombed.
How about the Mayor apologizes to the US and to the rest of the world for Mussolini. A-holes, both of them.
Has Milan apologized for the Milan terrorist cell yet, its role in 9/11, and recruitment for ISIS?

A the time, bombing civilian targets was not a war crime.
And anyway it was not deliberate, it was an unfortunate coincidence that the bombs that needed to be jettisoned fell where they did.
The Italians put their entire population at risk for siding with the evil Axis to begin with.
Nope.
Blame your sorry nation for following Hitler.
The apology thing is part of the weird communist desire for ritualized confession. It is part, I suppose, of their process of remaking people in their image [as opposed to God’s] by first tearing the person down and making them feel small and guilty. They also do it to our country and our institutions. Communism is all law and no redemption.
Leftist twisting of the meaning of the word ‘massacre’...massacres are intentional. This was in no way intentional.
We took the left, Brits took the right.
Hitler was going to go down at all costs.
Did Italy ever apologize for gassing Ethiopians?
They did not.
Forced Montgomery into the area.
We took care of the Mediterranean.
Go have a seance with El Duce and demand his apology.
People like this piss me off.
Not a damn clue what Hitler was doing.
I agree. Mussolini with his “Mare Nostrum’’ bs. Btw it’s ‘’signore’’.(’’Mr.’’)
Italy was our ally in 1944...Had been for a year.
So we were bombing an industrial area near Milan even though we were “allies”?
Many parts of Italy, in the North were still occupied by the Germans.
