Buccinasco reveals a side of Italy where agricultural landscapes, waterways and cultural history stand closely alongside one another. Even today, an extensive irrigation network shapes the characteristic landscape. It is fed by groundwater via fontanili and spring outlets, as well as by the Naviglio Grande. If you would like to get to know a place not only through individual sights but also through its developed surroundings, Buccinasco offers various points of connection for this.

Landscape between lakes, parks and waterways

In the northeast of Buccinasco, Parco Spina Azzurra stretches along the three former gravel-pit lakes Laghetto dei Salici, Laghetto dei Pioppi and Laghetto dei Pescatori. Cascina Robbiolo offers a different landscape setting, surrounded by a 22,000-square-metre park. Both places provide their own distinct landscape setting, without requiring you to commit to a single type of excursion.

Via della Musica also draws attention to the connection between nature and culture. The tree-lined path runs alongside a waterway. While walking there, you can immerse yourself in the history of Italian music. This path therefore particularly appeals to travellers who wish to combine physical activity with a cultural experience.

Church History and Practical Information

The ancient church of Romano Banco is dedicated to Saints Gervasius and Protasius and dates from 1196. The church is also associated with Goffredo da Bussero's Liber Notitiae Sanctorum Mediolani from the year 1200. The written tradition thus reaches back to an early phase of the area's history. For access and orientation on site, the church has a ramped entrance and is free of architectural barriers.

Cascina Robbiolo also accommodates different needs on arrival: it has a ramped entrance and accessible parking spaces; there are no architectural barriers there.

There is also a direct connection to Parco Agricolo Sud Milano for cycling excursions: Associazione Apertamente, which runs Punto Parco Terradeo in Buccinasco, organises cycling tours in this park in cooperation with BUCCinBICI.
