 Centro culturale Cascina Grande
The story of the former Zanoletti Cascina at Rozzano, now the Cascina Grande, is that of the large 19th century estates in the "Bassa Milanese". Built in 1881 on the request of one of the major landowners in the area, the Marquis of Zanoletti, the farmhouse stands behind the old centre of Rozzano located on the Naviglio Pavese, 12 kilometres from Milan. It was home to agricultural activity undergoing mechanisation that probably led to the creation of this unique plant in the shape of a V, totally different from the square or rectangular shapes typical of Lombard farmhouses. For decades, the estate was one of the most florid rice production and picking centres in the area.

The FAI is the main Italian no-profit foundation for the protection, safeguarding and care of Italy's artistic and natural heritage and is the third in Europe after the National Trust in England (our model) and the National Trust in Scotland. The "Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano" (Italian Environmental Foundation) was established on 28th April 1975 at the instigation of Giulia Maria Mozzoni Crespi, Renato Bazzoni, Alberto Predieri and Franco Russoli. They were well aware of how extensive Italian heritage is and that it would be impossible economically for it to be protected by a single government or by a small number of people and so they decided to found the FAI based on the English National Trust model.
