Seregno has been lower Brianza's market square for centuries: its pedestrian centre, among the area's largest, turns around Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the basilica of San Giuseppe, while the Barbarossa tower — the surviving Romanesque campanile of a vanished church — stands medieval witness among the shop windows.
The Benedictine abbey of San Benedetto, with its Olivetan monks, is an oasis of Gregorian chant and herbal liqueurs. A town of trade, cycling and heathland edges, two train stops from Monza: industrious Brianza in its most recognisable form.
