Pantigliate: the small Lombard treasure
Hello friends! Today I'm taking you to discover Pantigliate, a small town of 5,656 inhabitants in the metropolitan city of Milan. If you love characteristic villages and historical curiosities, this is the right place for you!
Monuments and places of interest
Let's start right away with the most significant monuments and places to visit. The Church of Santa Margherita is a great example of sacred art in the area. Built in the 14th century and expanded over the centuries, it has a facade in Lombard gothic style and a bell tower that stands elegant in the blue sky. Inside, you can admire valuable sacred artworks, such as the altarpiece of Sant'Agostino and the altarpiece of the high altar of San Zenone.
But the beauty of Pantigliate does not stop here! You cannot miss the Villa Cazzaniga Mandelli, a splendid 18th-century mansion surrounded by a centuries-old park with rare plants and suggestive historic fountains. Also worth visiting is the Villa Borromeo d'Adda, dating back to the 18th century, immersed in a dreamlike atmosphere, surrounded by a centuries-old park of over two hundred hectares.
Finally, if you love the countryside and outdoor life, I recommend taking a walk in the south Milan agricultural park: a green area of over 47 square kilometers, where you can go jogging, have a picnic, birdwatching and much more.

A path made of sacrifices and struggles for the well-being of the community.
