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.

It is one of the oldest hydroelectric power plants in Italy: it was officially inaugurated on October 9, 1901, in the presence of the King of Italy Vittorio Emanuele III. Between 1935 and 1938, it was completely modernized, based on a project by architect Giovanni Muzio - an exponent of the so-called Novecento artistic movement - also increasing the power to 31.5 MW. The power plant, of significant historical value, represents the perfect union between past and future and is an important element for energy production using flowing water technology.
