Hermitage of St. Albert of Butrio

A peaceful place to step into medieval spirituality

Romanesque parish church of Viguzzolo

The small parish church, simple and solemn, has accompanied the lives of the people of Viguzzolo for centuries. Inside, one can immerse oneself in a timeless spirituality by descending all the way to its crypt.

Olgisio Rock

It is a fortified complex located on a steep cliff between the Tidone and Chiarone valleys in the municipality of Pianello Val Tidone. Beautiful interiors and views can be enjoyed from here.

The Castle of Piovera

A place right out of a storybook

Lake Brugneto

Artificial body of water made at the expense of two small towns that are now submerged. The path that runs along its banks allows you to appreciate dense forests, cultivated fields and ancient ruins.

The carnival dances of Rocca Grimalda

Lachera, Giga, and Calisun, an ensemble of dance and theater that through masks and costumes lightheartedly and cheerfully recounts the struggles of the people against a feudal tyrant.

Benedicta Abbey

It is not the ruined walls that send a chill down the spine at this place nestled in the mountains, but the knowledge that 147 partisans were killed here between April 7 and 11, 1944.

The pontoon bridge over the Ticino River, in Bereguardo

Bereguardo's is one of the few remaining barge bridges in Italy. It has been in existence since 1374, although the wooden boats were replaced in the early 1900s with concrete boats.

The Visconti castle of Bereguardo

A large plain Visconti castle with a square plan, surrounded by a lower wall, intended as a winter residence and hunting lodge. Beautiful entrance from the drawbridge.
