Lissone has meant furniture for over a century: the timber Brianza has one of its capitals here, with showrooms and workshops that furnished half of Italy's homes. Not only trade: the post-war Lissone Painting Prize, since revived, left as legacy the MAC, a contemporary art museum with a collection devoted to abstraction.
The centre turns around the provostal church of Saints Peter and Paul and Palazzo Terragni, rationalist architecture signed by the Como school. Milan and Monza a step away, design in the DNA.
