Discover Cassina de’ Pecchi

Cassina de’ Pecchi can be explored through tangible traces of water management, rural culture and religious tradition. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in the town, these themes can help you plan your trip: they range from the area’s agricultural character to historic buildings, art and a feast celebrated for centuries.

Water and agricultural character

The Naviglio Martesana and the waterways branching off from it have made the area around Cassina de’ Pecchi fertile and particularly suitable for agriculture. For travellers interested in cultural landscapes, this connection offers a tangible way to understand the town’s agricultural character.

The PLIS Martesana is the first building block of a protected area intended to extend from Milan to the Adda River. It is currently recognised in the municipalities of Bussero and Cassina de’ Pecchi. This means that its current recognition exists alongside the wider goal of the planned expansion.

The history of milling at Mulino Dugnani

At Mulino Dugnani, also known as Mulino Resiga, the original milling room, machinery and structures along the Roggia Sant’Agata have been preserved as characteristic features. The building houses a small museum of rural life. Since 1990, the mill has been listed among Lombardy’s cultural heritage sites. The milling technology and the museum offer two related perspectives on rural life: work with the machinery and the rural culture to which the museum is dedicated.

A single architectural remnant at Cascina Casale

The Torrione of Cascina Casale dates back to the 17th century and is the only visible trace of the Cascina’s earlier history. This sets it apart from Mulino Dugnani, where several technical and architectural features have been preserved: at Cascina Casale, a single structure stands as a visible reminder of its past. The Torrione therefore offers a concrete point of comparison with the mill complex when considering the local heritage.

San Fermo: church art and a festive tradition

The Chiesa di San Fermo is located in Sant’Agata Martesana, Cassina de’ Pecchi. Its interior is particularly noteworthy for its Mannerist design, and the altar holds the saint’s relics. Different aspects come together here: the design of the church interior and the religious significance of the altar. Those interested in church art and local traditions will find both in this setting.

The Feast of San Fermo takes place on 9 August and has been celebrated since 1701. As part of the feast, a three-day fair is held outside the church. The date offers a specific point of reference for planning your trip. If you are planning to travel specifically for the feast, check the dates for that year’s event.

A municipal service

The library of Cassina de’ Pecchi is also useful in practical terms: it offers free registration for borrowing books. Information about everyday municipal life thus complements the town’s historical and festive themes.
