The ancient buildings remind us of a Milan of the past, when the protagonists were artisans and travelers and social life took place in the taverns and its shops. Architecturally, the farmhouse is made up of a series of buildings, largely attributable to the main structure, which still exists, arranged in an "L" shape, over a very large surface area: approximately three thousand covered square meters and 1.500 of gardens and courtyards. 

Abandoned for years, today the farmhouse is the subject of an important redevelopment and enhancement plan, entrusted to the Cuccagna Consortium and a series of cooperatives, so that it becomes a meeting point and aggregation center for everyone.

The name with which the building is indicated today probably derives from the presence of a traditional and folkloric "maypole" which was located in the courtyard of an inn, located near the farmhouse, in a building now demolished.

The Cuccagna farmhouse was once called “Cascina Torchio”; subsequently it acquired the name of a farmhouse which was located at number 20 of the same street and which was demolished in the 20s.
