Discover Pero: History, Olona Landscape and Holiday Apartment

Pero is located in the Olona Valley, on the edge of an ancient Roman road through the Verbano area, whose route today partly follows the Via Sempione. In this way, the town combines historical points of reference with a riverside landscape and new routes for soft mobility. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Pero, you can use the preferred daily rhythm and the interests of your travel group as a guide when choosing your location.

Holiday Apartment in Pero: History and Landscape

The oldest explicit mention of Pero known to date is found in a parchment document dated 12 February 926; it mentions a vineyard in Pero. The town's history therefore dates back to the early Middle Ages, giving your stay a specific historical connection.

The new church stands in Piazza della Visitazione in Pero and is dedicated to the Visitation of Mary to her cousin Elisabetta. Cerchiate is also home to a church built in 1958, likewise dedicated to Saints Filippo and Giacomo. A church with this dedication is documented at this location as early as 1300.

Fontanili and the Olona Landscape

The Parco dei Fontanili di Rho covers approximately 130 hectares and is located in the municipalities of Rho, Cornaredo, Settimo Milanese, Milano and Pero. The park also extends across Pero. Restored fontanili, which can be visited, lie among woods, clearings and cultivated fields. For days spent in nature amid changing landscapes, this area is a distinctive part of the surroundings.

The Green Line along the Olona

The Green Line project runs along the southern bank of the Olona from Via Curiel to the Ecodotto di Cerchiate. It includes routes for soft mobility as well as new publicly accessible areas. The Green Line is intended to connect Cerchiate and Cerchiarello with the centre of Pero via walking and cycling paths. It is also intended to link the natural and semi-natural features along the Olona River, improve environmental quality and biodiversity, and take the movement of wild animal species into account.

PuntoCerchiate can be accessed through the main entrance at Via Matteotti 51. The entrance is equipped with a ramp and is free of architectural barriers. This specific access arrangement may play an important role when planning a visit if routes with few barriers are to be taken into account.
