Piazza Matteotti
Description
The central square of every city features a church. And here there was one, where now there is a bank. Dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, it was commissioned in the late 1500s by Carlo Borromeo to replace the pre-existing St. Genesio. It was deconsecrated after the opening of the new church in 1932. Transformed into a grain storage warehouse, then a venue for cultural events and markets, it was demolished in 1974—after heated debates—because it was feared to be at risk of collapsing. At the intersection with Via Bourdillon stands Palazzo Tizzoni, named after the 19th-century owners. Built before 1685, it was the headquarters of the German command, which, after a long negotiation, surrendered on April 26, 1945. At the corner with Via Roma, in a 17th-century oval, one can see the “Madonna della Piazza,” a fresco by the Cernusco artist Felice Frigerio, depicting the history of Cernusco: Carlo Borromeo, the sanctuary of St. Maria sul Martesana, the demolished church with a nearby silk-spinning factory, people working with silkworms, and two men holding the funeral urn attributed to Caius Asinius.
Address
Piazza Gavazzi
Description
Piazza Gavazzi is the central and most representative square of Cernusco sul Naviglio, the heart of urban life and a key reference point for residents and visitors. The map shows a large pedestrian area with an open, regular layout, surrounded by civic and commercial buildings, cafés, shops, and service spaces. The square is designed as a place for social gathering and frequently hosts markets, cultural events, public celebrations, and community initiatives. From an urban planning perspective, Piazza Gavazzi acts as a link between the historic center and the city’s main streets, representing the modern evolution of the former urban core once associated with Piazza Matteotti. Its layout encourages social interaction, pedestrian use, and outdoor life, making it the true hub of the contemporary city.
