The square that houses the Podestarile Palace
This square, created in 1932 following the construction of the Palazzo Podestarile, takes its name from the Visconti of Milan who built the seventeenth-century palace that overlooks the trajectory of Via E. De Amicis, a direct and privileged connection route with the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Sorrows.
Rho was in fact already in the possessions of the Visconti family since 1538, but it was Ercole II Visconti in 1659 who transformed Rho into a pole of family prestige by building in just ten years the stately palace that we still admire today.
