History

Overview

Casate is first mentioned in 1603, in "Atti della visita pastorale" of Cardinal Federico Borromeo.

At the end of 1600 the abbot Ferdinand Crivelli decided to build a church, for the peasants of the small village. The church was consecrated in 1705, and a plaque still reads as set out in the place of worship:[1]

Origins of the name

The name "Casate" probably derives from common term "casates", farmhouses scattered in fields, in the dialect of the 1600–1700.[2]
