The Palazzo Brentano is a late Baroque palace on Vicolo del Ghiaccio in the town of Corbetta located in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Italian region of Lombardy. The present larger palace at the site was designed by Francesco Croce. It was commissioned by Giuseppe Brentano, who had been made by the Austrian authorities, the Count of Caltignaga in 1715. A smaller but noble house had been owned by the Marquis Ferrante Villani Novati, and the property sold to Count Brentani in 1731. To enhance the prestige of this newly-minted aristocrat, he commissioned this more grandiose villa in the 1730s, and decoration continued until 1750, employing a number of artists who had been employed in the decoration of Palazzo Casati Dugnani and Palazzo Clerici in Milan, including Giovanni Antonio Cucchi (who painted the Apotheosis of Hercules in the central hall); Giovanni Angelo Borroni and Mattia Bortoloni; Ferdinando Porta (who painted the Marriage of Cupid and Psyche in the main hall); and Giovanni Battista Sassi.The Brentano family sold the palace in 1839. After a series of owners, the palace came to be property of tha Somaschi order in 1935. First a seminary, the palace now functions as a children's school.

Rancilio is an espresso machine manufacturer, founded in 1927 by Roberto Rancilio in Parabiago, Italy. Rancilio's earliest machine was 'La Regina' – a vertical boiler machine, similar to the original Bezzera and Victoria Arduino devices in function and gilded 'Belle Epoque' styling. In 1950, Rancilio released a horizontal boiler machine, the Invicta Horizzontal, showing evidence of the postwar shift toward spare, modern styling. The machine however, still used the same forced-steam brewing method from the early 20th century. By 1953, Rancilio adopted lever piston technology introduced by Gaggia. In 1957, Rancilio released a model which automated the lever process, the H/L Automatica. The company followed new technological trends towards continuous deliver brewing introduced by Faema in 1961. In 1965, Rancilio commissioned design work from industrial designer Marco Zanuso, beginning with the Rancilio Z8, and continuing with the Z9 in 1974. Rancilio continued with several Z-series machines, with the Z11 being the last. The S-series machine would become popular in the 1990s, and become well known in the North American marketplace.In 1997, Rancilio created a home kitchen-sized espresso machine based on their commercial offerings. This was initially only available as a thank-you gift to importers and vendors of Rancilio's restaurant-grade coffee machines. This machine was later sold to consumers as the Silvia. The Silvia is a one group machine with a vibratory pump from ULKA and a single brass boiler that's controlled by 3 thermostats for both steam and hot water. It is frequently sold with its companion Rocky grinder that is available in doserless and dosered models with stepped settings.In 2001, Rancilio revamped their lineup, introducing the basic Epoca, and the Classe series. In 2011, they introduced a new advanced brewing system for the Classe 9 called Xcelsius, which gives precise control of water temperature during the brewing cycle.Rancilio made an attempt at a super-automatic machine, the Classe 12, and used cafes in Borders bookstores as a test market. It was deemed a failure, recalled, and abandoned. They subsequently purchased the Swiss Egro brand of super-automatic machines and have built a presence in that market with their Egro One. In October 2013 Rancilio was acquired by Ali group.

The Parco del Roccolo is a local park of interest to more than one municipality and it is located between the rivers Olona and Ticino in the northern part of the Po Valley, in a north-western area in the province of Milan, on the southern edge of the Altomilanese. The park includes wooded and agricultural areas in the municipalities of Arluno, Busto Garolfo, Canegrate, Casorezzo (where the park headquarters are located), Nerviano (since 1997) and Parabiago, with a surface of 1595 hectares (about 16 km²). The park takes its name from a technique once used in bird trapping, now considered illegal, the Roccolo: an oval clearing in which stood a three-storey tower camouflaged among the vegetation. It was established in 1991 for the safeguard of the natural elements of the area and for the enhancement of agriculture, which involves about 80% of the surface of the park, with the cultivation of corn, wheat, oats, barley, soybeans and fodder. Of the remaining land area, 9% is characterized by forests, while 1% by roads, quarries and the Villoresi canal with its network of secondary irrigation canals. Another characteristic of the park is the presence of numerous farmhouses scattered throughout its territory, witnesses to the historical agricultural past of the area. Recognized in 1994 as an agricultural park of supra-municipal interest by the Lombardy Region, it is currently being extended to the WWF Oasis of the Vanzago woods.
