The best family-friendly hikes and walks around Parco agricolo Sud Milano

Chiesa di Santo Stefano di Gudo Gambaredo member of Romano” is the original name of the building as found indicated on the sheet that transmits the oldest drawing of the Church and which is part of the aforementioned collection “Moduli et delineationes Ecclesiarum Plebis Cesani”, (spiritual archive sec. x, vol. 2°). This is the oldest and most precious source that offers a complete image of the initial form of the church. In truth, the oldest mention, which testifies to the origin of the Church, dates back to the famous “Liber ....” by Goffredo da Bussero (1200) which cites the church of S. Stefano in Gudo Gambaredo. The drawing in question essentially offers the elements that allow us to plausibly hypothesize the original structure of the church building; from this hypothesis, we can identify, as far as possible, the transformations that have led to the current form of the church.

The Scodellino bridge is the last bridge of the Naviglio Grande in Milan. It is located between Viale Gorizia and Piazza XXIV Maggio, at the point where the canal enters the Darsena. The name derives from the ancient habits of the bargemen or from the toll paid with a coin called scudo.

The image shows the famous wall of Via Pontano in Milan, located between the NoLo and Turro districts, historically known as one of the "hall of fame" for graffiti and street art along the railway walls. The area is located in Milan, along the railway near Viale Padova, a reference point for writing and urban regeneration projects like the Tunnel Boulevard. The wall is authorized as a free space ("muro libero") for artists and writers, hosting over the years works by different historical crews and different styles.

The Mulino di Gudo Gambaredo is a historic 18th-century rural architecture complex located in via De Amicis in Gudo Gambaredo, a protected hamlet with a rustic appearance in the municipality of Buccinasco (Milan).

The Naviglio Grande riverside in Gaggiano offers a picturesque cycle and pedestrian path immersed in the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano.

The Church of San Cristoforo sul Naviglio is one of Milan's most evocative and historic corners. Located directly on the alzaia of the Naviglio Grande, it is famous for being a rare "double church" formed by two small religious buildings side-by-side, unified in the 17th century. The Left Church (Romanesque): It is the oldest structure, rebuilt in 1192 on a previous chapel and remodeled in the 14th century. It served as a stopping point and protection for pilgrims and travelers entering Milan by water. The Right Church (Ducal Chapel): It was erected at the end of the 14th century at the behest of Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti as an ex voto for the end of a violent plague epidemic. On the facade, the Visconti coats of arms with the famous biscione can be seen. In 1625, the two interiors were joined by demolishing the dividing wall and opening two large arches. The fifteenth-century bell tower is historically nicknamed "the Meneghino lighthouse".

The Fontana di Piazza Castello, affectionately called "turta di spus" (wedding cake) by Milanese people for its shape, is located right in front of the Filarete Tower of the Sforzesco Castle. Initially built in 1936, it features a circular layout in Vicenza stone with cascading basins and spouts.
