Tips from the Community
The Parco delle Groane e della Brughiera Briantea is an immense protected natural area in Lombardy that extends for about 8,249 hectares in the upper Lombardy plain, touching 28 or 29 municipalities distributed among the provinces of Milan, Como, and Monza and Brianza. [1, 2, 3, 4] Originally established in 1976, the park has doubled its surface area in recent years thanks to the incorporation of the PLIS della Brughiera Briantea and the Fontana del Guercio Nature Reserve. The term "groane" derives from the local historical name for heathlands, which here represent one of the southernmost heathlands in Europe.

This church in Legnano – the “Chiesa del SANTISSIMO REDENTORE” – was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as blessed or saints and whose intercession with God we ask for; but rather to the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and Savior. In Italian, the term “San Salvatore” is not usually used, as is common for saints, but rather the more formal “Most Holy Redeemer” / “Santissimo Salvatore / Redentore”.
