The former Church of San Bernardo in Morimondo (MI) is a building of medieval origin dating back to the 12th century. Located in Via Roma, 8, at the entrance to the historic center, it is a private and currently deconsecrated structure, which preserves the original flat apse and a Lombard terracotta bell tower. The building, which once served as the parish church for the settlement under the guidance of the monks, has a single-nave layout heavily renovated at the end of the 17th century. Today, the former church is one of the first evocative stops in the village and overlooks the cobblestones leading to the nearby and more famous Abbey of Santa Maria di Morimondo. Together with the surrounding rural dwellings, it forms a picturesque view greatly appreciated by visitors exploring the area.

The Bridge of Cassinetta di Lugagnano is one of the most characteristic and historically significant monuments located along the Naviglio Grande, in the metropolitan city of Milan. Originally built of granite, the structure dates back to the 17th century, erected during the Spanish rule of the Duchy of Milan to connect the two historic centers divided by the canal. The bridge historically unites Lugagnano (on the right bank, of Roman origin) and Cassinetta (on the left bank, of medieval design). The bridge was completely rebuilt in a donkey-back shape in May 1862. This intervention became necessary both to repair the damage from the wars of independence (such as the nearby Battle of Magenta in 1859) and to facilitate the transit of commercial barges on the Naviglio.

Villa Clerici on the Naviglio Grande (also known as Palazzo Clerici or Il Castelletto) is one of the most majestic and extensive noble villas located along the Naviglio Grande canal. It stands in Castelletto di Cuggiono, in the province of Milan, perched on a natural spur overlooking a bend in the canal. It stands on the remains of an ancient medieval fortress from the 10th century, transformed in the 16th century into a residence of the Crivelli family. In 1658, the property passed to the wealthy Clerici family of bankers and merchants. The Clerici invested enormous fortunes in the complex. They wanted the facade to have 365 windows (one for each day of the year) and 12 balconies (like the months) to flaunt their wealth in front of the local nobility. In the 19th century, due to the family's economic collapse, the structure was sold and adapted first into a spinning mill and weaving factory, entering a long period of semi-abandonment. In 2026, an important private recovery project was initiated.
