Location: Cassano Magnago, Lombardy

Cassano Magnago is an Italian municipality with a population of 21,731 in the province of Varese, and its land area varies from 242 m a.s.l. to 321 m a.s.l. Cassano Magnago was elevated to the rank of city following the Decree of the President of the Republic of 10 November 1997. It is thought that Cassano has been inhabited since ancient times, a hypothesis supported by the discovery of an archaeological find, a cinerary urn dating back to the period between 600 and 450 B.C., attributable to the Golasecca culture (1000 to 500 B.C.). In the following centuries, new migrations of peoples arrived in the country. The area between the Ticino and Adda rivers was occupied by the Insubri and it seems that the name Cassano Magnago derives precisely from this ancient Celtic population. Finds dating back to Roman times include various types of burials, bronze coins, etc. In addition to the turkey oak, the real symbol of Cassano Magnago is the tower of San Maurizio, which has been recognised as a national monument due to its antiquity. In fact, archaeologists hypothesise its construction in late Roman times, for use as a signalling tower, later it was raised to become the bell tower of the church of the same name, then demolished in the early 20th century, while the bell tower was restored in the 1970s to prevent its collapse. It may have been raised in pre-Roman times, as suggested by a long milling at the foot of the hill reaching as far as the bank of the Rile stream, which has generated a vertical wall whose height varies from three to four metres, making the entire south face of the hill inaccessible. If the artificial nature is confirmed, this would suggest the presence of a structure built by the Celts and used by the Romans after the conquest of the territory, in order to place an outpost there to guard the territory.
