The Church of Santa Maria Nascente
Its origins date back at least to the 13th century, when the church was mentioned in ecclesiastical documents as a "chapel" dependent on the parish church of Gorgonzola.
The building we see today is the result of a reconstruction commissioned in 1572 by Carlo Borromeo.
In the 18th century, the parish community numbered between 1,200 and 1,300 faithful, while the parish owned over 400 perches of agricultural land and administered several branch chapels, including those of St. Francis of Assisi, Our Lady of Sorrows, and St. Ambrose in Bisentrate. Another major renovation occurred in the 19th century, with the 1842 renovation. Documents speak of a "new church," but it is unclear whether it was a total reconstruction, an expansion, or a partial renovation. The current building retains traces of these works, which likely affected the façade, nave, and other structural elements. Today, the church is still active and regularly used for worship.
