The construction of the Oratory, dedicated also to Saint Gaetano, was started on the 21th July 1572 thanks to Geronima Farnese, the wife of Alfonso Sanvitale, but completely restored in 1720 by Domenico Bragadini. In 1790 it was completely decorated inside by Antonio Bresciani. Masterpiece of the Baroque style is the beautiful wooden sacristy by Giulio Seletti. Sebastiano Galeotti completed the decoration.

Gilberto Sanvitale wanted the Chapel dedicated to Santa Croce in the first half of the XV th century. It was later completed by his son Stefano. It was then transformed and enlarged into a parish church between 1503 and 1509 by Giacomo Antonio Sanvitale. A bell tower was built later. In 1912 it was restored by the architect Lamberto Cusani who preserved some original elements. The church has some valuable paintings of the XVIII th century and a chapel linked to the church and many works with the coat of arms of the Sanvitales: The Baptism of Christ, The Annunciation with Saint Lucy, the presbytery altar, the choir seats.
In 1681 the theatre was planned by Alessandro Sanvitale himself and completely demolished in 1832. The present building dates back to the 19th century. It is a work Pier Luigi Montacchini started in 1858 and completed in 1866 by the architect Pancrazio Soncini even if it subsequently underwent many deprivations and a restoration in the second half of the XX th century. It is very simple outside with a façade closed by a tympanum and a main door with two side entrances.

The two connected buildings were built in different times. In 1832 the beautiful gothic-lombard portal, belonging to the structure of the original theatre, was demolished to allow the construction of marvelous elegant neoclassical greenhouses and a series of botanical gardens.
In 1800 the Women’s Conservatory was added to the building. During the Restoration it was transformed into a private home and let to the Gandinis in 1935. The Botanical Garden with 600 year-old trees – connected with the old Stables through the portico can be visited entering the Villa. The Villa is inserted in the Tour of the Dimore Storiche Italiane.

The Sanctuary, outside the old town, was built on a pre-existing Oratory dedicated to Saint Josef in 1397 and given to the Dominican monks as a present by the Marquis Galeotto Lupi di Soragna. Veronica from Correggio, the widow of Giacomo Antonio Sanvitale, had called the monks to assist the local population. The oldest wing of the Sanctuary was built in 1514. After the plundering in 1531 and the demolition in 1543 both the temple and the monastery were reconstructed and dedicated to Saint Josef. Only after the Trento Council the worship of Our Lady of the Rosary was promoted. It calls many pilgrims here still today. The present façade, dating back to 1912-13, is a work by the architect Lamberto Cusani and by the sculptor Ettore Ximenes who recovered even the façade statues of the XVIII century.
