Holiday apartment in Correzzana amid churches and local history

Today’s Chiesa di San Desiderio replaced an older oratory that had fallen into disrepair. Its construction began on 23 April 1873 and was completed the following year.

The Chiesa di San Desiderio has a rectangular nave in the Lombard Gothic style. Inside it is a Lourdes grotto made of Ceppo stone from Val Camonica. The church interior therefore brings together Lombard Gothic design and Ceppo stone from Val Camonica. The Oratorio di S. Maria del Rosario features a façade with side pilasters, a square window and a strictly triangular pediment. It is simply designed, while the portal surround is more Baroque in style. The simple façade and the more Baroque portal surround belong to the same Oratorio di S. Maria del Rosario.

Agricultural traces and the woodland landscape of Rio Pegorino

Cascina Regondella was historically used for agricultural production. Cascina Guzzafame continues to be used for agricultural production. The two Cascine thus introduce different time references into Correzzana’s agricultural landmarks.

The Rio Pegorino SAC area lies in the regional surroundings of Correzzana. It is mostly wooded and is one of the few remaining forests in the agriculturally shaped and urbanised Brianza. Anyone who takes the landscape into account alongside the buildings will find Rio Pegorino to be a specific woodland area of Brianza.

Cultural destinations and an event in September

Also in the surrounding area is La Testimone Velata Di Mariani Isarella, a museum. The Festa al Centro Sportivo takes place every year in the first days of September. For those interested in culture, the two palaces and the museum can be considered regional destinations alongside the religious buildings.
