Tips from the Community
The former Church of San Bernardo in Morimondo (MI) is a building of medieval origin dating back to the 12th century. Located in Via Roma, 8, at the entrance to the historic center, it is a private and currently deconsecrated structure, which preserves the original flat apse and a Lombard terracotta bell tower. The building, which once served as the parish church for the settlement under the guidance of the monks, has a single-nave layout heavily renovated at the end of the 17th century. Today, the former church is one of the first evocative stops in the village and overlooks the cobblestones leading to the nearby and more famous Abbey of Santa Maria di Morimondo. Together with the surrounding rural dwellings, it forms a picturesque view greatly appreciated by visitors exploring the area.

The Bridge of Cassinetta di Lugagnano is one of the most characteristic and historically significant monuments located along the Naviglio Grande, in the metropolitan city of Milan. Originally built of granite, the structure dates back to the 17th century, erected during the Spanish rule of the Duchy of Milan to connect the two historic centers divided by the canal. The bridge historically unites Lugagnano (on the right bank, of Roman origin) and Cassinetta (on the left bank, of medieval design). The bridge was completely rebuilt in a donkey-back shape in May 1862. This intervention became necessary both to repair the damage from the wars of independence (such as the nearby Battle of Magenta in 1859) and to facilitate the transit of commercial barges on the Naviglio.
