The name "Chiesetta di San Giacomo in Ripa Scorticata" (or alternatively Saints Philip and James) refers to two important historical and religious testimonies in Northern and Central-Northern Italy: 1. The Church of San Giacomo in Ripa Scorticata (Cremona / Castelleone) The historical expression refers to an ancient medieval settlement dating back to before 1158, located in an area originally known as Ripa Scorticata, an elevated area along the banks of the ancient Serio river (today called Serio Morto), in the territory between Castelleone and San Bassano, in the province of Cremona. The ancient Pilgrim Hospice: The small church stood on the strategic Via Regina (the Roman military and commercial road that connected Cremona to Chiavenna). Attached to it was a xenodochium (or hospital), used for the reception and refreshment of devout pilgrims and passing "romei".

The legend of the deaf-mute child is linked to the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Fontane, located in Casaletto Ceredano, in the province of Cremona (Lombardy). Tradition has it that before 1687, an eight-year-old deaf-mute boy named Abele got lost in the local marshes. The Madonna appeared to him, took care of him by making a fountain spring forth, and restored his hearing and speech.

Very nice tour, the return phase could be improved as, although cyclable, it runs along the provincial road Crema - Lodi. NEW: an embankment has been built with a cycle path on top from Corte Palasio to the Casellario area, running along the Adda with a small bridge over the Tormo stream. Works in progress, it must be completed but is already passable. Beautiful, scenic and shady in the woods.

In view of this small wayside shrine, which the builders dedicated to the Madonna, I would like to offer the viewer a brief reflection from Saint Padre Pio (Pio da Pietrelcina, 1887 to 1968): “Always stay close to this Heavenly Mother, for she is the sea that must be crossed to reach the shores of eternal splendor.”

The Church of San Rocco is a Catholic parish church located in Lodi, in the Borgo Adda neighborhood, near the Napoleon Bonaparte Bridge. In ancient times, Lodi had four churches dedicated to San Rocco, each positioned at the city gates to protect against plagues. In the 17th century, the destruction of the extramural villages left only the Church of San Rocco standing, located outside Porta d'Adda. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church proved too small and in poor condition. The parish priest, Father Ponzoni, proposed demolishing it and building a new, larger church. The project was approved in 1906 by the city council, which also decided to demolish the adjacent Porta d'Adda arch. The cornerstone of the new church was laid on May 31, 1909. Designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Milanese architect Cecilio Arpesani (a design similar to his other work, the Basilica of Sant'Agostino in Milan), it was completed and consecrated on May 28, 1911. The bell tower, initially only half-built, was completed and inaugurated on September 25, 1937. It houses an old clock from the Lodi Cathedral dating back to 1787, and at its base, a plaque commemorates the fallen of the Ethiopian War and the proclamation of the Empire.
