After WWII, there were many projects dedicated to urban redevelopment, and an example of one of these is the "Casa Serena," buit in 1967, connected to the city center by a new street. A fellow citizen, cav. Mario Pavesi wanted these projects, and desired a place to accommodate his employs who were in retirement. Since 1964, Cilavegna has had annual celebrations dedicated to pink asparagus, the city's most important crop.
