Between the 7th and 6th centuries BC, Celtic tribes settled in this stretch of Lombardy, leaving behind the oldest archaeological artifacts found in the area. Now home to 17,460 residents, Corbetta stands as the second-largest municipality within the Magentino district of the Milan metropolitan area.
For centuries, the town held significant administrative and spiritual power as a capopieve, driving the early spread of Christianity across the region. That religious heritage remains anchored at the local sanctuary, which continues to operate as a major center of Marian devotion for neighboring communities.
