The Farmhouse Increa is located on the southeastern border of Brugherio. It enjoys the protection of the Superintendency Fine Arts and Landscape for its survived Renaissance architecture.

Architecture

The farmhouse has inputs to via Increa. At the center there is Villa Tizzoni-Ottolini, which housed the old Milanese families on holiday. Now it houses businesses and private residences. To its left is located the Church of Saint Mary Immaculate that was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and Santa Teresa in 1691.[1]

The interior of the farmhouse is composed on the back wall by arcades leading to the areas formerly inhabited by farmers. The right courtyard still hosts a farm with stables for livestock breeding. The main court on the left has large porches. The lower floor housed the kitchen, pantry, utility room and the living room. The first floor housed the bedrooms and presents a iron railing.[1] Overlooking the entrance there were stables and barns; after the restoration the architectural structure has remained unchanged and in their place there are private houses. Behind these structures, an arch leads to the courtyard where once there was the communal oven.

History

The farm was part of the municipality of Cernusco Asinario (today Cernusco sul Naviglio) and it belonged to the Church of Gorgonzola.[2] It takes its name from the term "clay" in reference to the nature of the terrain or an old brick kiln in the area.[1] He entered the parish of Saint Bartholomew of Brugherio in 1578. With the decree of 30 March 1871, the area was annexed to the City of Brugherio and United that had been established by royal decree on 9 December 1866.[2] In 1650[3] the counts Litta[1] built the farm as it is today. In the documents of the Teresian land registry of 1721, the territory of the farm was under the Municipality of Cernusco sul Naviglio and 90% of it belonged to the noble Valentino Conti, while the villa was the Count Zumenzù's.[2] At the end of the nineteenth century the farm passed first to the noble Ottolini, then to the family Tizzoni and finally to the family Robbiani.[1]

The Chronicles of the pastoral visit of Saint Charles Borromeo in 1621 shows that the inhabitants of the farm were 27 and the parish had 1,000 inhabitants. At the end of the eighteenth century the inhabitants, who lived in cottages around the house of the owners, had increased to 144 and worked 1,300 perches of land with cereals and vines.[2] In 1987 the City Council of Brugherio, thanks to regional foundings, bought the complex and Cava Increa (now Park Increa). The apartments of the farm were sold to families already living there. The barns, under the protection of Belle Arti, have been restored and are home to eleven apartments. The stables have been transformed into garages.[4]
