Casone: Churches, Frescoes and Green Spaces Nearby

Churches and a Fresco in Casone

Casone offers concentrated access to sacred architecture and art-historical motifs. The Chiesa Parrocchiale Santi Carlo e Giuseppe di Casone was built in the 18th century and also includes an oratory. Together with the 12th-century Chiesa di San Michele, this creates a chronological span ranging from medieval sacred architecture to an 18th-century church building. The Chiesa di San Michele is located in the Barco district within the territory of Casone.

The Chiesetta di San Michele a Casone has a rectangular floor plan with a single nave and a terminating apse. In the Chiesa di San Michele, a fresco is considered to depict the archangel beside the Madonna and Child, who is offering him a bunch of grapes. The image motif adds a directly visual aspect to the architectural perspective.

Another specific site is the Crocetta di San Carlo in Casone on Via Gornati. It is a granite column with a cross, erected by San Carlo. During the plague, residents gathered there to pray.

Palaces and Parks in the Wider Area

The wider regional surroundings of Casone also broaden the cultural perspective. Visconteo Castle can be classified there as a castle. Palazzo Cattaneo, Villa Ottolini-Tovaglieri and Palazzo Cicogna are palaces in the wider regional surroundings of Casone. The selection therefore ranges from Visconteo Castle as a castle to Palazzo Cattaneo, Villa Ottolini-Tovaglieri and Palazzo Cicogna as palaces in the wider regional surroundings of Casone.

The surroundings of Casone include several green spaces: La Bareggeta is a garden, while Parco del Roccolo, Parco Quattro Elle and Parco Pirandello are parks located around Casone. These destinations do not form a single complex, but rather consist of three parks and one garden.

Discover Casone via Routes

Two routes include Casone in different ways. One route reaches Casone and includes the Crocetta di San Carlo as one of its sights. This connects with Via Gornati and the granite cross already described. A route to Casone also leads to the Chiesetta dell'Immacolata and includes a painting of San Carlo there. The two route connections offer different perspectives on Casone and should not be combined into a single route.

The route to the Crocetta di San Carlo and the route to the Chiesetta dell'Immacolata therefore establish different points of reference: one concerns the granite cross on Via Gornati, while the other concerns the painting of San Carlo. This does not imply any particular order or a shared connection between the destinations.
