[1] Initially, it formed a whole together with Lake Alserio, only in more recent times they separated due to the accumulation of sediment brought by the Lambro River and human activity of reclamation.

Today the island, a destination for guided tours and location for weddings or events, retains the charm of a private oasis and is particularly known for the presence of particular botanical species and exotic animals including wallabies, Crowned cranes, peacocks and Storks.

[1] Lake Pusiano (also called lacus pusianum) is written for the first time in an official way in a document dating back to 1314, which regularizes the division of the basin by deed: 2/3 become the responsibility of the archbishop of Milan and his canteen for the needy, 1/3 remains of the collegiate church of San Giovanni Battista of Monza.

In fact, under the Visconti and Sforza, dealt with the problem illustrious figures including Leonardo da Vinci, in the period in which he was at the Court of Ludovico il Moro.
