Brugherio's devotional pilasters were erected, after the plague that struck Monza and the near territory in 1576 in the four points in which they were placed altars used to celebrate religious services. Information about this plaque could be found in the notes of the visits to the population done by the Bishop of Milan, Saint Charles Borromeo. The plague of 1576 was in fact called "the plague of Saint Charles" in memory of the closeness of the Bishop to those affected.<ref name="Brugherio">{{
== Devotional pilaster ==
During the spread of the plague, the faithful gathered in prayer around the altar outdoor places, to avoid contagion to which they were exposed indoors. At the end of the plague they dismantled the altars but it was decided to erect in these places devotinal pilasters, as an act of gratitude by survivors.
They are placed in piazza Roma, next to the Church of Saint Bartholomew; in Viale Lombardia, not far away from the old cemetery; in Torazza and in San Damiano. At the top of all there is the symbol of the cross, supported by architectural details recognizable as spheres, cones, capitals, etc. In some cases the pilasters report also inscriptions, not always legible.
=== Pilaster in piazza Roma ===
It is located next to the parish church. On the ball at the top it there is written: ''In Hoc Signo Vinces, the capital Deo Sacrum Christ Jesus'' and on the basis of the column Sicut Moses esaltavi Serpentem in Desert sic''.'' On the stone block which forms the pedestal: ''Spes omnium Salus Fidellium Branda Scottus fecit proud. Anno Nativitatis MDLXX Maj I''. The inscription of the year is likely incomplete because the column was built by Bernard Scotti in 1576.<ref name="Brugherio" /><ref>{{
=== Pilaster in viale Lombardia ===
Located near the old cemetery (but prexisting to it) on viale Lombardia, it is characterized by a cone at the top. Also on it there is written the name of the manufacturer of Brugherio, Bernard Scotti, who had it built in 1578. For years it was not very visible, embedded in the wall of the building and hidden by vegetation.<ref>{{
