Baggio (Quartiere di Milano) 🇮🇹 Storia del Paese e Scoiattoli nel Parco delle Cave 🐿 Lombardia in 4k

Baggio is a neighborhood in Milan, located on the western outskirts of the city. The most important churches are those of San Giovanni Bosco, Sant'Anselmo, San Pier Giuliano, and Sant'Apollinare. Of historical and artistic importance is the Chiesa Vecchia, located at the end of Via delle Forze Armate, on the corner of Via Ceriani, with a bell tower dating back to the 12th century. The neighborhood is bordered on its eastern edge by Parco delle Cave, one of the city's largest green spaces, which has become one of Milan's most evocative parks, thanks in part to a redevelopment project undertaken over the last thirty years. Anselmo da Baggio, originally from Baggio (Milan), was Bishop of Lucca from 1057. During his time as Bishop of Lucca, he rebuilt the Cathedral of San Martino, transforming it into a "little St. Peter's." In 1061, he was elected Pope with the name Alexander II, also retaining the title of Bishop of Lucca. Anselm supported Hildebrand of Soana, the future Gregory VII, in his election as pope, in opposition to the emperor, who had appointed the antipope Cadalus. He is also venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church, under the name of Saint Anselm of Lucca, and is the patron saint of Mantua. 0:00 Introduction 0:20 Cascina Linterno and Petrarch 1:11 Historic Center of Baggio 2:53 Church of Sant'Apollinare Vecchia 4:11 Church of Sant'Apollinare Nuova 4:28 Cascina Monastero 5:07 Cave Park of Milan 8:13 Squirrels #milan #Squirrels #SQUIRREL
