Historical connections around Cascina Campo

The historic road to Cascina Campo is now called Via Campo. A paved road from Roman times leads from Frigola directly behind the inhabited town centre of Perego, passing Cascina Campo along the way. Cascina Campo can be reached via a well-preserved old road paved with river gravel. Cascina Campo is associated with a map from 1571. The place name Cascina Campo derives from a flat field measuring approximately 30 Milanese pertiche. The river-gravel paving describes the surface of the old access route very specifically. For a historical tour, this section of road itself is also part of the route, alongside the destination. Those who appreciate old paths can include this section in their own day plans for Campo. The approximate size of around 30 Milanese pertiche is part of the history of the place name.
