In view of this small wayside shrine, which the builders dedicated to the Madonna, I would like to offer the viewer a brief reflection from Saint Padre Pio (Pio da Pietrelcina, 1887 to 1968): “Always stay close to this Heavenly Mother, for she is the sea that must be crossed to reach the shores of eternal splendor.”

The villa was built according to its original design by Count Antonio Cavazzi della Somaglia, VIII Count and Baron of Somaglia, to showcase the power of his family, in an area where he owned several lands and estates. The count entrusted the design to architect Giovanni Ruggeri. Upon his death in 1688, Antonio bequeathed the villa to his great-nephew Antonio Dati, who subsequently assumed the title of Count of Somaglia. Dati oversaw the expansion of the palace, transforming it into a majestic residence intended as a holiday resort and meeting place for great figures of 18th-century Italian literature and culture, but he never lived to see the work completed, which was completed by his son Antonio Giovanni Battista in 1749.

It's impossible to think of passing through here without visiting the town's castle. Its origins seem to date back to the 6th century but over time it underwent numerous transformations and rearrangements, resulting from the needs of the owners who followed one another over the centuries. First there was Frederick I, known as Barbarossa, who destroyed the previous castle to rebuild it. There were the Visconti-Sforzas and finally the Belgioioso family. The structure of the castle is divided into two parts: on one side the shelter, i.e. the area where daily life took place, on the other the fortress, with military functions and for this reason located high up on the hillside.

Villa Litta Carina (little Versailles of the Lodi area) dates back to the second half of the 17th century and was designed by the renowned architect Giovanni Ruggeri. It is considered a national historical and artistic heritage by the Belle Arti. The villa has had illustrious visitors, including King Umberto I and Giacomo Puccini. Villa Litta Carini envelops you in its magnificent atmosphere and enchants you with its suggestive beauty. The villa is available for banquets, receptions, meetings, congresses and other events.

The Cathedral of Lodi is the oldest sacred building in the city. Its construction was commissioned by Frederick Barbarossa and began in the year 1160 and ended a hundred years later. The composition of the facade, the use of exposed bricks and the design layout make the Lodi Cathedral one of the most famous examples of Lombard-Emilian style, more commonly known as Romanesque.
