Cambiago between rivers, villas and local history

Cambiago lies in a flat area between the Adda and the Molgora River, immediately north of the Villoresi. This makes it possible to discover Cambiago through several themes without losing sight of the character of a manageable municipality.

Landscape and a distinctive feature for cycling enthusiasts

Parco Villa Perani is a public green space in the municipality of Cambiago. Free visits to La Collezione Ernesto Colnago are possible by prior reservation. Those interested in cycling can plan this visit as a clearly defined item on their itinerary; making a reservation in advance is part of the planning.

Historic center, villas and economic history

Cambiago's old town center preserves Palazzo Cottini and Villa Perani; the flat surroundings also define the spatial setting of the town.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Cambiago's economy included not only agriculture but also several weaving mills and silk-spinning mills. Agriculture, weaving mills and silk-spinning mills existed side by side during this period and paint a more diverse economic picture than a purely agricultural history. The reference to the beginning of the 20th century remains decisive and does not describe the current economic structure.

Churches and historical traces

The façade of the Chiesa di S. Zenone has been restored, while the brick vaults remain visible. The interior of the church contains paintings by the artist Davide Beghé, who came from Bergamo. The façade design, visible brick vaults and paintings make the Chiesa di S. Zenone a place where architectural and artistic details come together. If you enjoy looking more closely while traveling in Italy, such details are among Cambiago's interesting aspects.

In Torrazza, the Chiesetta della Beata Vergine del Rosario was formerly known as Madonna della neve. Torrazza also preserves the character of an old agricultural farm complex. The chapel and the farm complex represent two different historical traces: the former name refers to the traditional designation of the Chiesetta, while the complex preserves the agricultural character of Torrazza.
