Tips from the Community
Very nice tour, the return phase could be improved as, although cyclable, it runs along the provincial road Crema - Lodi. NEW: an embankment has been built with a cycle path on top from Corte Palasio to the Casellario area, running along the Adda with a small bridge over the Tormo stream. Works in progress, it must be completed but is already passable. Beautiful, scenic and shady in the woods.

In view of this small wayside shrine, which the builders dedicated to the Madonna, I would like to offer the viewer a brief reflection from Saint Padre Pio (Pio da Pietrelcina, 1887 to 1968): “Always stay close to this Heavenly Mother, for she is the sea that must be crossed to reach the shores of eternal splendor.”

The Church of San Rocco is a Catholic parish church located in Lodi, in the Borgo Adda neighborhood, near the Napoleon Bonaparte Bridge. In ancient times, Lodi had four churches dedicated to San Rocco, each positioned at the city gates to protect against plagues. In the 17th century, the destruction of the extramural villages left only the Church of San Rocco standing, located outside Porta d'Adda. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church proved too small and in poor condition. The parish priest, Father Ponzoni, proposed demolishing it and building a new, larger church. The project was approved in 1906 by the city council, which also decided to demolish the adjacent Porta d'Adda arch. The cornerstone of the new church was laid on May 31, 1909. Designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Milanese architect Cecilio Arpesani (a design similar to his other work, the Basilica of Sant'Agostino in Milan), it was completed and consecrated on May 28, 1911. The bell tower, initially only half-built, was completed and inaugurated on September 25, 1937. It houses an old clock from the Lodi Cathedral dating back to 1787, and at its base, a plaque commemorates the fallen of the Ethiopian War and the proclamation of the Empire.
