Historic traces in the town and surrounding area

The cultural highlights include the castle ruins known as “il Torrettone”, which are attributed to the 10th century. The first records of the Madonna di Rezzano Sanctuary date back to 1570. The parish church of San Maiolo Abate was built in 1726 by the Counts Anguissola. In Corneliano Bertario, the parish church of San Giorgio was built in the mid-18th century.

Smaller buildings of various classifications also add to the picture: in a hamlet of Truccazzano, there is a bridge over the Muzza Canal built around 1776. The Truccazzano area also has a notable example of a mill used for grinding grain. Fortezza Viscontea is one of the fortresses in the area around Truccazzano, while the Cascina Imperiale building complex is among the palaces. In the wider regional area, Casa Torre Medioevale is also classified among the palaces; nearby, Parrocchia Di Sacro Cuore is classified among the churches.

The local profile also includes Truccazzano’s municipal De.C.O. designation. It covers the three wheat varieties Ardito, Gentilrosso and Mentana. This gives the town, alongside its architectural history, a tangible connection to regional products and traditions.

Along the Adda on foot and by bike

For active days, the towpath along the Adda River in Parco Adda Nord offers a clearly defined route: it stretches from Lecco to Truccazzano and can be travelled entirely on foot or by bicycle.

Its various habitats are associated with the presence of 115 different bird species. In the wider regional area, Porta Ombriano is classified among the natural arches.
