The Santuario di Santa Maria di Piazza is located in the historic center of Busto Arsizio, Italy, where an earlier church dedicated to the Virgin Mary stood, which in turn had replaced a chapel dating back to the time of Christianization. This Marian shrine was quickly built between 1515 and 1522.
Sight 6: Edicola di San Carlo Borromeo
The aedicule of St. Charles Borromeo is a votive capital located in Busto Arsizio, in Via Giacomo Matteotti, originally called Contrada Pessina, near the Canavesi-Bossi house. It stands where once there was probably a public well and a monastery, now demolished, in a crucial position, as the road was a passage for processions that from the churches of Santa Maria and San Giovanni reached the church of San Michele Arcangelo.

The Museum of Sacred Art of St. Michael the Archangel is one of the two private museums in the city of Busto Arsizio and is housed in some parish rooms near the thousand-year-old bell tower of the Church of St. Michael the Archangel.
