What to do near Varzi, PV

Hermitage of St. Albert of Butrio

A peaceful place to step into medieval spirituality

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.

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.

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 Castle of Piovera

A place right out of a storybook

Grazzano Visconti and the unreal magic of the 15th century

The city Nuov'antica

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 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.

The shelter of San Colombano al Lambro

In St. Columba there is still a rare example of a 13th-century shelter, a place intended to protect the inhabitants and food supplies from outside threats.
