Santorso is home to several patrician villas: the oldest is the Villa Facci which dates to the 15th century. The church of S. Maria Immacolata was built between 1834 and 1839 in neoclassical style.

The Renaissance Villa Floriani houses frescos by the artist Giovanni Demio for display.

The 19th century Villa Rossi is owned by the commune of Santorso and. The annexed park, designed by Negrin, includes an aquarium, rare plants and brooks running through lush vegetation to the main lake. It is home to a large live collection of butterflies in a walk through atrium. The park also features train rides, farm animals and children's play areas.

Twin towns

Santorso is twinned with:

gollark: Given the COVID-19 situation, I can basically use whatever I want for notes and NONE can stop me.
gollark: > paper
gollark: Explicitly-graph-structured stuff is quite popular now. There's one big SaaS product, Roam Research, various opensource projects doing similar stuff, and also TiddlyWiki which has been around for ages and is some sort of crazy HTML/JS quine-type thing which happens to be able to store notes, and now has extensions for that.
gollark: I have notes (on academic topics) because I can *generally* remember stuff fine but sometimes forget a thing and require some information on it rapidly || 🐝.
gollark: That is not how "extensively" works.
