Farmhouses of Brugherio

The old farmhouses of Brugherio were agricultural structures typical of the Po Valley in Lombardy, which derived its name from the surrounding areas, roughly corresponding to fractional towns in which Brugherio was divided. The union of the various small rural municipalities in 1866 gave birth to the municipality of Brugherio. Some fragmented towns are still visible, namely: Bindellera, Casecca, Cattoni, Comolli, Dorderio, Guzzina, Increa, Modesta (called also Del Bosco), Moia, Occhiate (with Occhiate's mill), Pareana, San Cristoforo, Sant'Ambrogio, San Paolo and Torazza.
