Taken from Wikipedia: "The first mention of a chapel in Cuggiono dates back to the Late Middle Ages and is contained in the Liber Notitiae Sanctorum Mediolani, which states that it was a branch of the parish church of San Genesio di Dairago[3].

At the beginning of the 17th century this building proved insufficient to satisfy the needs of the faithful and, so, in 1605 the decision was made to demolish it to build a larger one in its place, the design of which was entrusted to Francesco Maria Richini; the first stone of the church to be built was laid on 25 April 1606 and the works ended in 1633[1], while then in 1686 the parish church became the seat of a vicariate[4][5].

In 1753, Archbishop Giuseppe Pozzobonelli, carrying out his pastoral visit, found that the parish church, where the confraternities of San Geronimo and the Blessed Virgin of the Blessed Sacrament were based, had four oratories under its control and that the faithful were 3000[3] ; on 14 June of the same year the prelate celebrated the consecration[1].

The facade was completed in 1846 based on a design by the engineer-architect Giovanni Battista Bossi (1807-1882) from Cuggio, while the pronaos was built in 1902[1].

In 1971, with the territorial reorganization of the archdiocese desired by Cardinal Giovanni Colombo, the vicariate of Cuggiono was abolished and the church passed to the deanery of Castano Primo[3]; the structure was then restored between 1998 and 1999"

In front of the church there is a bakery (the towers or the tower I don't remember now), excellent both savory and sweet snacks!
