Tips from the Community
Inverigo boasts three of the most important monuments in Brianza: Villa Crivelli, Villa Cagnola, and Villa Sormani alla Pomelasca. The first was built incorporating the remains of a sixteenth-century castle and still shows the tower, the guardhouse, and the ancient prisons today, alongside a more modern wing built in 1814 based on the design of the architect Pollack. The gardens, designed with particular scenographic sensitivity, were decorated in the eighteenth century with sandstone statues. Spectacular is the famous "viale dei Cipressi" (Cypress Avenue), which at 2 km long is the longest in all of Brianza. Commissioned by Marquis Giovanni Battista Crivelli in 1644 to connect the villa to the sanctuary of S. M. della Noce, it was later extended towards the Navello farmhouse and in the following century towards Villa Cagnola
