They are all part of the first section of the Cammino, the one that corresponds to the Vettabbia Valley, named after the irrigation ditch that originates in the center of Milan and then runs southward until it enters the Lambro at Melegnano.An area also known as the Valle dei Monaci (Valley of the Monks) because the Cistercian monks settled here in the Middle Ages, and thanks to their action of reclaiming those lands, until then unhealthy, became productive and small but lively towns flourished, animated by the presence of the Abbeys of Chiaravalle, Viboldone, Mirasole.
The itinerary starts right from the center of Milan, that is, the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore in the center of Milan continues with a visit to the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio, the Diocesan Museum and the church of San Nazaro in Brolo. It continues along Corso di Porta Romana and Corso Lodi toward the southern outskirts of the city. At the end of viale Omero, which began via san Dionigi, a small church clearly visible from the road and accessible by a slightly uphill driveway marks the boundary with the countryside. It is the church of Ss. Philip and James, part of the Nocetum Center: built during the 13th century, it preserves evidence of the existence of a Christian community in Nocetum since ancient times.
