Say Monza and think immediately about the roar of the riders who run in the city circuit in the annual Formula One Grand Prix. But the province of Monza or, more exactly, the province of Monza and Brianza is not only motor racing and speed but also nature, art, villas and museums.Numerous, are the possible historical and artistic itineraries, in which you can find traces of various artistic periods, from the early Christian to the Contemporary. These itineraries allow us to discover all the links between art and the history of the territory. You can visit churches such as the Cathedral of Monza in which there is the treasure of Queen Teodolinda, noble villas, think of Villa Verri in Biassono, stately palaces such as the palace Arese Borromeo in Cesano Maderno.

The same monuments can be visited following different conducting threads such as thematic or iconographic paths. More than 40% of the territory of the province consists of green areas: the parks are the main dish of the province, think of the park of Monza within which the racetrack is located, at Groane park in Solaro of geological and botanical interest or to the park of the Lambro valley only to list a few.

Interesting is the path that embraces both artistic and naturalistic beauties. It is the “Way of St. Augustine”, a circular route that starts and ends in Monza and allows, in 25 stages to be traveled on foot in 14 days, to visit the most important historical sites, artistic and naturalistic of Brianza. Among the many cultural events in the province stands out “Stages”, the project that presents the offer of the “theater circuit of Monza and Brianza” which involves 14 rooms and has a very rich billboard.
