The Curone Park is a new park: it was officially founded in 1983. It has a surface of 1,600 hectares and in its territory there are 10 villages:

·        Cernusco Lombardone

·        Lomagna

·        Missaglia

·        Montevecchis

·        Olgiate Molgora

·        Osnago

·        Rovagnate

·        Viganò

·        Sirtori.

   

 

 

 

In this area we can find lots of remains which remind us of our past.

 

Thanks to these remains we can get to know our past. In many areas the building and industrial activity has cancelled the traces of the past: here, however, there are several old farms, still used.  

 

   

   

Fortunately the industrial progress hasn’t changed the environment !

As a matter of fact, in the park we can find typical rural houses: the most common is a simple farmhouse with two floors; downstairs there is a cowshed and a barn.

     

 The Curone Park is situated in a wonderful position,  you can easily reach .

It is quite hilly and from Montevecchia hill you can see the Lombardy Plain  and even Milan.

HISTORY

From the findings of worked flints we can learn that people must have lived here 70-60,000 years ago.

Fragments of pottery and of old walls and roads witness a farming, well-organized society.
