unfortunately done after a windy day with paths covered in broken branches, but the place is worth a hike

This church was dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, also known as the "Princes of the Apostles." Their feast day is June 29. Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he and his brother Andrew were called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men." According to Catholic doctrine, he is the chief apostle, and the two-thousand-year line of popes—currently Francis—follows him. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand. This attribute refers to the biblical passage in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he and his brother Andrew were called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men." Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and, unlike the other apostles, was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime, but was converted later through the famous "Damascus Road experience." His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. Such a sentence was a "privilege" under Roman law at the time (a swift death, unlike other forms of execution which involved a long, agonizing death struggle) afforded to the citizens of Rome.

I confirm, not passable, a barrier has been added to prevent crossing

It can be done by bike somehow, but the water is too deep to walk

The Vimercate bridge is the Ponte di San Rocco, a historic fortified bridge over the Molgora stream, unique in Lombardy for its ancient Roman origins and subsequent medieval fortifications. The structure, which for centuries served strategic purposes and provided access to the village, is currently subject to conservation measures, such as a one-way system, to preserve its historic character.

In ancient times in Lomagna there were two small churches, one dedicated to Saint Alexander and the other to Saint Lawrence the Martyr. In 1567 the Archbishop of Milan Carlo Borromeo ordered that these be demolished and that a new one be built dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, to be built by reusing materials and furnishings from the two old chapels.

The Trovante is the anthropomorphic silhouette that stands out through a play of light and shadow on the side of the Corno Birone and which represents, for the poet and painter Gaetano Orazio, his daimon, the ultimate meaning of his artistic research, the epiphany of that creative drive that accompanied him to the banks of the Rio Toscio to paint while questioning his identity. This figure takes on the value of an identifying element and a protecting deity, becoming a uniting element for the ten municipalities of the area from which it can be observed: Annone Brianza, Barzago, Bosisio Parini, Bulciago, Civate, Costamasnaga, Cremella, Garbagnate Monastero, Molteno and Monticello Brianza.

The parish church of Lomagna was built in the early 17th century to replace two previous chapels that were demolished, from which materials and furnishings were reused. In the mid-19th century, it was completely restored, with a significant expansion necessary to accommodate the growing population.
