Was this elegant structure always meant to be a farmhouse? You might be surprised to learn that Cascina San Fedele, despite its rustic appearance, was designed with the same grandeur as the other buildings in Monza Park. Cascina San Fedele, you see, wasn’t always a farmhouse. It was built in the early 1800s on the site of an old hostel. The architect, Luigi Canonica, chose a neo-Gothic style, echoing the elegance of the Royal Gardens’ tower. Canonica believed that even a simple farmhouse deserved beauty. Look closely at the main facade. The white and gray marble, the arched windows—those are hallmarks of his refined style. Those captivating bifore, by the way, are not original to the building. They were salvaged from the demolished Church of Santa Maria in Brera in Milan, adding a touch of history to this already fascinating structure. Over the years, Cascina San Fedele has served different purposes. It housed a school in the 1960s, evidenced by the modern addition at the back. Today, it’s a place for learning and recreation, hosting educational activities in the summer months. As you enjoy the serene ambiance of Cascina San Fedele, remember that even in its simplicity, it reflects the grandeur and artistry that permeate Monza Park.
