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">{{cite book | | |title= Brugherio: i suoi luoghi, la sua storia: 225. anniversario del primo volo italiano in mongolfiera con uomini a bordo |Language= Italian|date= 2009 |publisher= Comune di Brugherio |___location= Brugherio}}</ref>

== Devotional pilaster ==
'''Villa Scotti-Cornaglia-Noseda-Bertani''', well-known as '''Villa Fiorita''', is the building where [[Brugherio]] Commune's headquarters are hosted.
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 ===
==History==
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>{{cite book |first= Manuela |last= Mancini |title= Brugherio: presente e passato |language= Italian|date= 1996 |publisher= Swan Edizioni|___location= Milano}}</ref> It is also known as ''Cross Scotti''.
Villa Fiorita is an aristocratic historical urban mansion with an L-shape layout. An extension overlooks the [[centro storico|centro cittadino]] throught a wrought iron railing sustained by [[pilastri]]ni [[Tardo barocco|tardo barocchi]] which is the main entrance. An other one, in the backside, give onto a wide park from which we can straight arrive into [[Chiesa di San Bartolomeo (Brugherio)|chiesa]]'s square.
=== Pilaster in viale Lombardia ===
The mansion was built where it already was, in 1721, an "aristocratic house" with shells and [[giardino]], counts property of Scotty's family, who have been in Brugherio since the beginning of 1500. The land, where it stands, was [[Corte di Monza]]'s.
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>{{cite book |first= Luciana |last= Tribuzio Zotti |___location= Brugherio: luoghi memorabili |date= 1987 |publisher= Parole Nuove |___location= Brugherio}}</ref> In recent times it has been moved across the street.<ref>{{cite book | | |title= Piano di governo del territorio. B04: Repertorio dei beni storici e ambientali ||language= Italian|date= 2013 |publisher= Comune di Brugherio |___location= Brugherio}}</ref> On the pedestal of the column it is written: ''Sicut Mojses exaltavit Serpentem in Desert.'' On a square stone placed under the base'': Ego sum lux et veritas Mundi via vivorum life.'' In the western side of the pedestal'': Sic Deus dilexit Mundum ut suum Filium unigenitum daret pro nobis.'' In the eastern side'': Ecce nomen super omne nomen et omne and genuflectatur.'' In the northern side'': Hic quem videtis true solus Dominus Noster est et our glory. Branda Scotus fecit.'' It is also known as ''Brugherio Cross'', or ''House Scotti''.<ref>{{cite book |first= Luciana |last= Tribuzio Zotti |title= Brugherio nei documenti ||language= Italian|date= 1986 |publisher= Musicografica Lombarda |___location= Brugherio}}</ref>
=== Pilaster in Torazza ===
In 1778 count of Vedano, Giambattista Gallarati Scotti, sold it (with the near-placed building, today known as [[Palazzo Ghirlanda-Silva]]) to Gaspare Ghirlanda who, probably, started the reconstrution and the decoration's works whose now many traces remain.
It is placed at the crossroad of Torrazza. On the pedestal it is written: Votive monument in memory of the plague in 1576, torn down by the cyclone in 1928, rebuilt in 1929 by Angelo Cazzaniga's family.<ref name=Brugherio/>
=== Pilaster in San Damiano ===
Afetr that the mansion was inherited by Noseda's family, milanese land-owner, who used it as a summer residence<ref>Brugherio: i suoi luoghi, la sua storia: 225. anniversario del primo volo italiano in mongolfiera con uomini a bordo - 2009 - p. 32</ref>. In 1921 it was bought by Bertani's brother, who built a big woolen mill then taken by Marzotto.
About this column there is no trace in the historical local chronicles.
In 1938 the mansion was given to nursing home nervous didease Villa Fiorita<ref>Manuela Mancini ''Brugherio presente e passato'', Swan Edizioni, 1996, p. 17</ref>. This clinic, managed by accountant Bogani, came from Milano<ref name=calendario>{{cita libro | | Cooperativa Agricola di Consumo | Calendario BRUGHERIO ierioggi 1994 | Brugherio}}</ref> and between 1949 and 1956 is hosted the painter [[Filippo De Pisis]] from Ferrara who used as office the mansion's greenhouse , now called Serra de Pisis.
The aristocratic building, because of the inheritance and the recent transformation into a nursing home, had been modified a lot of times and in 1963, due to practical and sanitary causes, two sheels and an extension of it were knocked down.
The building was further more remodelled, however without changing the structure stemmed from the before operations, to host the [[municipio|sede municipale]], whose opening took place on the 17th of december in 1978. During the [[ristrutturazione]] the [[portico|orignial three-arcades portico]] was rebuilt with beautiful granite pillars.
==Works of art==
[[File:"Arti e mestieri" - Villa Fiorita - Brugherio.JPG|thumb|"Arti e mestieri" - affresco all'interno di Villa Fiorita]]
The remodelling works have erased almost of the whole fresco's decorations on the [[facciata]]. On the backside we can glimpse a monochrome representation about [[cariatidi]] that seem supporting the balconys, which actually are a twntieth-century addition.
On the inside, at the ground flour, in the [[sindaco]]'s office, we could see [[affresco|decorazioni ad affresco]] on the ceiling while, in the hall and in the central room overlooking the garden, there are [[Fregio|fregi]]'s remaining of eighteenth-century frescos, which show mitological scenes (maybe episodes from [[Cleopatra VII|Cleopatra]]'s life).
Throught the grand staircase to the first floor, we could admire a big fresco "Arts and crafts" by Max Squillace, Franco Ghezzi and Gian Mario Mariani. In the wall painting are depicted culture, family, field works and factory works, man's aggressiveness. Field works are rappresented by a man with plough and oxes. Field works were the first economic richness's source which then were displaced by factory, technology and industry mechanization. Family, in a social context, is depicted by a man who gives to a woman, layed down on the big hand of earth mother, a wheat seed as fecundity's sign. Figure contained in a globe are representing culture. This bodies, in all their beauty, strongly statuesque, are stirred, as getting out of the structure in which they are put, to show that culture isn't about few elected people but an interchangeable property. At last a man that symbolizes the aggressiveness which is inside of us and we should "take it ou" to create something new and maybe a new world. In the middle, as show the bond of all these with the city, there is the eown's coat of arms<ref>Brugherio - Notiziario Comunale - january 1979</ref>.
==Villa Fiorita's Park==
[[File:Parco di Villa Fiorita - Brugherio.JPG|thumb|Parco di Villa Fiorita|left]]
Beyond Villa Fiorita's building, in the middle of Brugherio, there are a [[Giardino all'inglese|parco romantico all'inglese]] which is extended in about 7 000 m² .
The first historical informations about this park go back to eighteen century, when it was just a little garden annexed to count Ottaviano Scotti's mansion.
In the second half of the nineteenth century it was enlarged and transformed into a classic romantic garden. We could see the typical elements of the informal park: man-made hill, sinuous paths, irregular arboreous setting, the rocailles to delimit flower-beds and the avenues and the fence.
The arboreous assets count more than 600 specimen formed not just by hackberries and yew trees, but also by cedars, horse chestnuts, beeches, ginkos, maples, elms and robinias.
It's remarkable the monumental hackberry in front of De Pisis greenhouse, the magnificent Sophora japonica and the historical cane thicket of Bambusa.
In the park there are a playground for children and a kiosk with a comfort zone, too. The park also hosts cultural and musical events and, ih summer evenings there are shown movies open-air<ref>{{cita web|url=http://www.comune.brugherio.mb.it/servizi/servizio/Parco-di-Villa-Fiorita/|titolo=Comune di Brugherio.

==De Pisis greenhouse==
Inside Villa Fiorita's Park there are a building, pertained to the mansion, that was used as a greenhouse. Villa Fiorita became a nursing home nervous didease, and between 1949 and 1956 it hosted the painter [[Filippo de Pisis]] (1896-1956) of Ferrara who used as an office the mansion's greenhouse choosing it because it was surrounded by park's green and because the optimal exposure to the sun.
