Cassano d'Adda

Cassano d'Adda is a small town positioned along the Adda River near Milan, with a landscape that gradually descends toward the south. The terrain's natural slopes create varied viewpoints throughout the residential areas.

The town first appears in written records from 887, indicating its early importance as a regional settlement. Its position near the river made it strategically valuable throughout the medieval period.

The bell tower serves as the visual heart of the town and shapes how locals experience their community center. The church and its tower form a gathering point that anchors daily life for residents.

The train station offers connections to major cities through the Milan-Venice railway line. Several international airports nearby make it easy to reach by air.

Two man-made canals connect the river to Lodi and Milan, a feat that turned Cassano into an agricultural hub during the 1800s. These waterways were crucial to the area's economic growth.
