Holiday apartment in Millepini: Culture, parks and a cycling route

Millepini combines a museum of early motor scooters, the Santa Rita church, several recreational facilities and a 12.8-kilometre cycling route.

Holiday apartment in Millepini between culture and open spaces

The Museo Scooter & Lambretta is located at Via Kennedy 38 in Millepini, Rodano. It displays numerous early motor scooters from the first half of the 20th century and has a hall featuring numerous unusual bicycles from the 19th century. The historic Innocenti archive, technical documents, films and commercial advertising materials can also be viewed there. Group visits are possible on request.

Another architectural highlight is the Santa Rita church in Millepini. It was built between 1990 and 1992 according to designs by Francesco Guidi and Patrizio Buniva. The church is oriented north–south and opens onto the church forecourt with a three-bay pronaos. Its bell tower separates the church building from the adjoining parish building while also connecting the two.

In the presbytery area there is a square tiburium, which serves to accentuate the architecture and provide stronger illumination of the liturgical area. The baptistery volume also forms a second entrance to the building. The interior is designed as a single-nave space with a framework of massive reinforced-concrete roof trusses and a raised gallery, which is intended to increase capacity when needed.

Parks, exercise and shared experiences

Parco Via Venezia in Millepini has a children's playground, a roller-skating rink and a fitness trail. On 23 October 2021, a new calisthenics facility for outdoor sports was inaugurated at Parco Venezia in Millepini di Rodano. In Millepini, five-a-side football sessions with Mister Nino were also held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m.

Bosco della Besozza, which can be reached from the Millepini district, is a green area with cycle paths, equipped areas and a pond. The 12.8-kilometre cycling route runs from Lucino via the cycle connection to Millepini and Via Kennedy to Bosco della Besozza, continuing to Cascina Benzo and back to Lucino. This gives you, alongside culture and architecture, a clearly defined tour and a green destination for an outing to use as a guide.

Which accommodation suits your plans

When choosing your accommodation, you can first consider which experiences should define your stay. Those interested in motor scooters, bicycles and technical materials will find a distinctive cultural theme at the Museo Scooter & Lambretta. Santa Rita church appeals with its architectural history and structural details to visitors who want to take a closer look at architecture. For days involving exercise or a change of pace, Parco Via Venezia and Bosco della Besozza offer different points of interest. This makes it possible to choose a holiday apartment in Millepini to suit your preferred plans for each day, without limiting the trip to just one activity.
