Gothic Palace (Piacenza)

Highlight • Historical Site

This square used to be the political and commercial center of Piacenza. It owes its name (Piazza Cavelli) to two masterpieces by Francesko mochi, the Baroque equestrian statues** of Alexander and Ranuccio I Farnese. The gigantic structure that towers above the square is the Gotico**. To the left of the square rises the facade of the 13th century Chiesa di san Francesco, an interesting example of Gothic Franciscan architecture.

Church of San Giacomo della Cerreta

Highlight • Religious Site

In the countryside between Belgioioso and the river Po, near the hamlet of San Giacomo della Cerreta stands the small church of San Giacomo, a destination for pilgrims because it is located on the ancient route of the Via Francigena, to which its name refers to another of the destinations of medieval pilgrims: Santiago de Compostella in Spain. In the past, near San Giacomo della Cerreta, there was the small settlement of Porcaria, whose name refers to the breeding of pigs, documented from the twelfth century and disappeared in the fourteenth century. The church is of Lombard art from the first half of the fifteenth century, it has a single room, entirely painted with votive paintings related to pilgrimages. In addition to the Madonna, Saint Roch and Saint James are repeatedly depicted, both in the guise of pilgrims, carrying a stick and a saddlebag. In the images of St. James, the characteristic shell that pilgrims collected at Cape Finisterre, on the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, has been added as a sign and reminder of the journey made.

Via Francigena in Linarolo

Highlight • Trail

The Via Francigena runs through the municipality of Linarolo, which belonged to the Order of the Knights Templar.
The passage of pilgrims is confirmed by the existence, in the past, of a hospital for the Romans, mentioned by the Duke of Milan Gian Galeazzo Visconti in his Itinerary for pilgrims on their way to Rome, dated 1400. The forests and the proximity of the river provided the ideal setting for nature walks and reenacting an evocative history. The town is located in an area that was very popular in the Middle Ages, where the Strada Regina passed, via San Leonardo and Ospedaletto. The road connected Piacenza with Pavia along the Po and was the continuation of the Via Emilia (Rimini-Piacenza). Wikipedia

Casa Stranissima, Torre de' Negri

Highlight • Structure

In the small town of Torre de' Negri, located in the Pavia region, there is a remarkable house called Casa Stranissima. This house seems straight out of a fairytale amusement park, with a picturesque and curious appearance. Unfortunately, little information is available about this mysterious house.
