Tips from the Community
The parish church of Saints Peter and Paul is a well-hidden gem, the altarpiece was painted by Giampietrino (16th century) and is enclosed in a monumental carved wooden frame from the Baroque period.

An idyllic spot for a rest and a picnic! We soak up the peace and quiet. From here, it's supposedly possible to take a boat across, just as pilgrims did in the Middle Ages. It's probably busier here in the summer.

The Transitum padi is the passage over the River Po that pilgrims had to make on the Via Francigena to continue their journey from Canterbury to Rome. An important testimony to this ancient historical event comes from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sigeric, who tells of the presence of huge rafts on the river at Corte Sant'Andrea: they transferred hordes of pilgrims and livestock, testifying to the centrality of this passage over the Po.

Hostel "Ad Padum" Compagnia di Sigerico Laudense. This Osteria is not just located in a forgotten country. Corte S Andrea is an official stage location (no. 39) of Sigeric.

"Attraverssamento del fiume Lambro"; The Lambro is a river in the Italian region of Lombardy. The total length of the river is approximately 130 kilometers. The source of the Lambro, Menaresta is located on the flank of Monte San Primo (1685 m), the highest mountain of the Triangolo Lariano that divides Lake Como in two. The first kilometers the river flows through the Valassina, then the Lambro crosses Lake Pusiano and later flows further into the Brianza. Between Lake Pusiano and the city of Monza, the river and the surrounding area have been declared a protected area (Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro). Arriving at the conurbation of Milan, the river flows straight through Monza, and past the cities of Sesto San Giovanni and Milan. The last kilometers the Lambro flows through the flat Po Valley past the town of Melegnano and eventually flows into the Po river in Orio Litta.
