@FoCuSandLeArN:Please leave Cascina Increa, in Italian, as done for Palazzo Ghirlanda-Silva, because the building is known by the Italian name. Thank you very much for your help! Labaici (talk) 08:57, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Labaici: Sure, sounds good. Could you tell me what "Superintendency Belle Arti and Landscape" is in Italian as well? Is it a local thing? FoCuScontribs; talk to me! 23:43, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
@FoCuSandLeArN: "Superintendency Belle Arti and Landscape" is a peripheral organs of the Italian Ministry for Arts and Culture (MiBAC), regulated by the Legislative Decree of 22 January 2004 n. 42, on "Code of cultural heritage and landscape" with the tasks at a local level in the field of cultural heritage, landscape, museum, archives and the like.

@FrOsmetti:, @Labaici:, @FoCuSandLeArN: etc - I'm going to nominate this for the front page but would someone volunteer to go out with a phone and get a picture of this and other WiBrugherio buildings? A picture is so informative. Victuallers (talk) 11:29, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
we don't have the permission to take pictures. It is a private building. In Italy we do not have libertà di panorama. I am on holiday now till next week. Ciao Labaici (talk) 13:19, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
It says "The Chronicles of the pastoral visit of Saint Charles Borromeo in 1621 show that the inhabitants of the farm", but wasnt Borromeo dead? Victuallers (talk) 12:12, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
That's a shame regarding the photos...as for the pastoral visit, there does seem to be an error. FoCuScontribs; talk to me! 13:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oh!!! ^&*(!! that is a pity for you, your tourists and Italy. - I guess you have thought about asking the owners to give you a photo of their building and written permission? But I guess you have have spent months thinking about this and you know the pliability of Italian law. I did have some difficulty in thinking up a "hook" for dyk for this article. Any ideas?

Pictures: We already asked for permission, we are waiting for a reply: the building is a condominio, then the residents have to meet to decide.
Saint Charles Borromeo: You are right! There must be a mistake about the date. We will check the quoted reference as soon as possibile. Ciao Labaici (talk) 14:09, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I've checked the reference and I've changed the year, it was 1587 FrOsmetti (talk) 08:33, 5 September 2015 (UTC) - Thanks!Reply
Ping!! .@FrOsmetti:, @Labaici:, @FoCuSandLeArN:.."The Chronicles of the pastoral visit of Saint Charles Borromeo in 1578 show that the inhabitants of the farm totalled 27 and the parish had 1,000 inhabitants." <--- Can we add a ref here please. Its required for DYK. Victuallers (talk) 15:39, 10 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Ref added. Thanks, if there are any other problems to solve let me know. FrOsmetti (talk) 06:41, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
