Agrate Brianza: Villas, Churches and Green Spaces

Agrate Brianza can be explored particularly through its architecture, church art and public green spaces. Villa Schira Corneliani, Villa Trivulzio, Chiesa S.Zenone, Chiesa S.Eusebio, Parco Aldo Moro, the Giardini di Villa D'Adda and Oasi Volano each offer their own distinctive focus. When planning your trip, you can combine the villas and church art of Agrate Brianza with Parco Aldo Moro, the Giardini di Villa D'Adda and Oasi Volano.

Architecture and Church Art

Villa Schira Corneliani has a late Baroque character. A striking architectural detail is its wrought-iron balcony in the Baroque Rococo style. The southern courtyard and the surrounding buildings house the municipal public library.

Villa Trivulzio creates a different architectural accent. Giovanni Ruggeri designed it as a complex of two symmetrical, two-storey structures connected by a portico with seven arches.

Church art is also one of Agrate Brianza's notable themes. In 1975, Chiesa S.Zenone received six Stations of the Cross by the sculptor Alfredo Vismara, who was from Agrate. The present-day Chiesa S.Eusebio contains frescoes painted by the Scuola “Beato Angelico” in Milan. Visitors who pay attention to individual works and their creators will encounter different forms of sacred art here.

Green Spaces for Exercise and Family Time

Parco Aldo Moro covers 110,000 square metres and contains an artificial lake. It also includes a fitness and calisthenics area. The Hillpark Skate Park is located in the same park and is suitable for both beginners and experienced skaters.

The Giardini di Villa D'Adda cover 4,000 square metres between Piazza Sant'Eusebio and Via Ugo Foscolo. Covering 110,000 square metres, Parco Aldo Moro is significantly larger than the Giardini di Villa D'Adda, which cover 4,000 square metres. For individual planning in Agrate Brianza, this difference provides a clear point of reference: Parco Aldo Moro represents an extensive park area, while the Giardini di Villa D'Adda offer a more compact garden complex with two play areas. They include two play areas for children and teenagers. The Giardini di Villa D'Adda also include a free underground car park with 50 spaces.

From Designed Gardens to Birdlife

Oasi Volano was incorporated into the boundaries of Parco del Molgora in 2014. Over the years, more than 150 bird species have been observed there. Together with Parco Aldo Moro and the Giardini di Villa D'Adda, Oasi Volano shows the different ways green spaces in Agrate Brianza can be experienced.
