The Chapel of Madonna del Dosso is a charming rural oratory located between the Cantalupo and Baitana farmhouses, in the municipal territory of Gaggiano, along the "Camminando sull’acqua" cycle-pedestrian path. Dating back to the second half of the 18th century, it is an ideal place of peace for cycling excursions, often historically associated with the countryside of Trezzano sul Naviglio (the "de' Borini" rice fields area).

It is located between Moirago and Rozzano, near Cascina Grande

It almost looks like Mexico since they painted it white about 3 years ago. It was not inhabited and I don't think it is even now, but it is only used as a storage for agricultural machinery. There is a gas pump still in Lire. In the silence of the sunset, it takes on an almost sinister tone. It is part of my tour of abandoned places among cemeteries and farmhouses in the area.

Nice road, not to be taken during the hottest hours as it is exposed to the sun and mosquitoes
