Background
Built in marshy and lagoon areas, Oggiono was a Roman and then Lombard center, a period to which the origin of the parish must be traced. Having entered the territory of Milan, Oggiono was openly alongside the Visconti. From Milan he obtained privileges and tax exemptions, as a border territory with the Republic of Venice, always driven by expansionist aims towards the territory of the Milanese duchy. After the Spanish domination, with the Austrians the activity of silk spinning developed, which continued even with the entry into the new Italian state. After the crisis of the silk industry, the mechanical industry developed in the Oggiono area.

What see
Baptistery external view
Interior of the Baptistery
- Baptistery of San Giovanni Battista, church square. The building has an octagonal plan on the outside, circular on the inside. Of very ancient origin, it was built in the Romanesque style in the 11th century on an earlier baptistery dating back to the 6th century, and was probably square in plan. The swimming pool reserved for the baptism of adults and located in the center is dated between the seventh and ninth centuries. : The interior shows frescoed walls with figures of Saints - Eufemia, Rocco, Giovanni Battista, Sebastiano -, works by different authors who worked between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Fortunately, these frescoes were partially recovered in the first half of the twentieth century; in fact the church had been reduced to a sacristy in the eighteenth century, and the frescoes had been plastered.
Church of Sant'Eufemia
Polyptych of the Assumption by Marco d'Oggiono
- Parish Church of Santa Eufemia. In the sixth century there was already a church dedicated to Sant'Eufemia. The present church was built on this site in the early seventeenth century. It has a Latin cross plan; the interior has a single nave with eight side chapels.
- Preserve frescoes by Andrea Appiani (Marriage of the Virgin and St. Joseph) and above all works by Marco d'Oggiono, an artist who was a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci. In the third chapel a fresco attributed to him represents the Madonna and Child Enthroned between Santa Eufemia and Santa Caterina d'Alessandria.
- On the wall in front of the valuable eighteenth-century organ of the Serassi brothers is the polyptych by Marco d'Oggiono; in the central panel the Assumption is represented; the eight side panels - four on each side - depict Saints Eufemia, Ambrogio, Antonio and Bernardo on one side; Apollonia, Lorenzo, Sebastiano and Rocco on the other. Above the work a smaller central panel shows the image of the Eternal Father.
- In the main altar a marble balustrade delimits the presbytery, raised by three steps. On the walls is frescoed Santa Eufemia on one side, the visit of San Pietro to Sant'Agata in prison on the other, as well as other works by Paolo Cattaneo and Giuseppe carnelli. A baroque wooden choir crowns the apse; a wooden statue depicting the Madonna del Rosario, from the same period as the choir, is exhibited in October.
Sant'Agata Church

Previously it was located in the square on which stood the Palazzo della Giudicatura, destroyed by the people in 1654 when Oggiono redeemed his freedom from feuding. A local historian believes that the statue was commissioned by San Carlo Borromeo, to invite the faithful to pray during the plague of 1576.
- Church of Sant'Agata. It dates back to the early eighteenth century. It has a horizontally tripartite Baroque facade in the central part, with a central window above the entrance door surmounted by a tympanum.
