The historic home of Cardinal Branda Castiglioni testifies to the greatness of his humanist thought. It is composed of a fourteenth-century body next to a fifteenth-century one (significantly altered over the centuries). In 1435 Masolino frescoed the Cardinal's study with the stupendous and unreal view of Veszprèm (Hungarian mountain resort). Inside there are other notable works by Vecchietta and Paolo Schiavo. A Lombard artist, painted in 1423 the so-called "Cardinal's Chamber" with fruit trees, cheering cherubs, late Gothic decorations and mottos taken from classical Latin authors, which hand down to us the refined spiritual testament of Cardinal Castiglioni.

The Valmorea Railway, inaugurated in 1926, was an international line that connected the north of Milan with Mendrisio. The Valmorea station was the border station. After just two years, however, the fascist regime decreed its closure. Until 1977, only two short sections remained in operation that served some local factories. Today, thanks to the Friends of the Valmorea Railway Association, the Valmorea railway can be traveled from Mendrisio to Malnate Olona. The 7.5 km of track have been renovated for tourist use: on rare occasions it is possible to travel the route on vintage trains.

Are you ready to cross the door of this "Island of Tuscany in Lombardy"? (quoting d'Annunzio...!)

The "Rile-Tenore-Olona" (RTO) is a Local Park of Supra-municipal Interest (PLIS) established in 2006 between eight founding municipalities and subsequently joined by four others in the province of Varese. Covering over 25 square kilometers, the park embraces valley floors, hillsides and plains, taking its name from the main waterways: Rile, Tenore and Olona. The management of the PLIS has been entrusted to the Pineta di Appiano Gentile e Tradate regional park since 2019, in line with the reorganization of the Lombardy protected area management system. Castiglione Olona assumes the role of Convention Head in the management of the PLIS.
