Cormano: Discover Play Areas, Parks and Art

Cormano combines playful spaces, public parks and notable art and cultural attractions to create a varied destination. Those who choose a holiday apartment in Cormano can tailor their stay entirely to their own interests: spending time in green spaces, enjoying family-friendly experiences or making cultural discoveries around Bì, Villa Manzoni and Balossa.

Play Areas and Parks for Days Spent Together

The Area giochi Cormano includes a play castle, various play structures, swings, a wooden train, spring-mounted motorcycles and aeroplanes, as well as a football goal for children. The play area is free to use and open at all times. It is also the only part of Parco Nord Milano that belongs to the municipality of Cormano, and is located south of Villa Manzoni. This brings together a spacious play area and a clearly recognisable cultural connection.

Further green spaces include Parco dell'Acqua and Parco Don Alessandro Manzoni. Parco dell'Acqua is a public park with a fountain as well as play and leisure facilities. Parco Don Alessandro Manzoni is also public and combines play and leisure facilities with meeting places. This creates a choice for planning the day between play, time outdoors and places where spending time together is the main focus.

Culture Between Theatre and Literary Heritage

Bì – La Fabbrica del Gioco e delle Arti is a theatre run by the Associazione Aia Taumastica. At Teatro Bì, the Ottobre Manzoniano programme included theatre performances, conferences, readings, presentations and two renowned events such as the “Festival della Filosofia”. Villa Manzoni adds a more understated historical note: it is a private residence occupied by the writer's heirs and cannot be visited inside.

Art at Balossa

The three entrances to Balossa feature Francesco Garbelli's “Idranti Ionici”. Inside Balossa, there are also two works from the “Fake History” series by the young artist Francesco Fossati. The two artistic references give the site different perspectives: outside, a recurring ensemble of works at the entrances; inside, two works from a related series.
