Rustico in Missaglia

The cluster sits in the Brianza belt, with low hills, mixed woodland and built-up settlements between the Adda valley and the foothills below Montevecchia. The Adda river is nearby, with the riverside landscape of the Parco Adda Nord within daily surroundings. Montevecchia and Curone Valley Regional Park is close by, with wooded ridges, cultivated slopes and small historic villages on the hills. The nearest larger towns are Merate and Vimercate for everyday services, while Lecco, Monza and Bergamo are the main urban centres in the wider orbit. This part of Brianza is known for a dense settlement pattern, old villas and farmsteads, and for the transition from the Milan plain to the pre-Alpine hill country.
