Saronno

Saronno (Italian: [saˈrɔnno]; Lombard: Saronn [saˈrɔn]) is a comune of Lombardy, Italy, in the province of Varese.

The place is well known for its apricot kernel biscuits (amaretti) and liqueur (amaretto), and is also a relevant manufacturing town.

The pilgrimage church of the Madonna dei Miracoli, begun on 8 May 1498 by Vincenzo Dell'Orto, has a dome with very fine architecture on the outside.

Internally the dome is decorated with fine frescoes by Gaudenzio Ferrari, representing The Concert of Angels, while those in the choir are by Bernardino Luini and are among his finest works.

These include the Adoration of the Magi, The Presentation, The Marriage of the Virgin and Jesus Discussing with the Doctors in the Temple.

In January 1923 Pope Pius XI elevated the church to the status of Minor basilica.

This railway has frequent trains to Milan, Como, Varese, Novara and Malpensa Airport.
