Day 1: Arrival in Piacenza
Day 1: Arrival in Piacenza

Welcome to Piacenza: terminal point of the ancient Via Emilia, the city is located in the northernmost and western part of the Emilia-Romagna region


Why visit it?


The quiet Emilian city combines a human dimension of living with the pleasures of good food, accompanied by historical-artistic treasures to discover: memories of a past rich in history, such as the Duomo, the Gothic Palace, the Farnese Palace. 

Splendid noble palaces, numerous churches and narrow streets of the city centre offer pleasant views and unexpected surprises.

Not everyone knows that Piacenza is a real "food valley", which can boast the highest concentration of D.O.P. among cured meats, cheeses and wines. and D.O.C in Italy. 


Dinner in a typical restaurant and overnight stay.

Day 2: Castell'Arquato and Vigoleno
Day 2: Castell'Arquato and Vigoleno

After breakfast, an early departure towards Castell'Arquato: this picturesque village, which stands on the left of the Arda stream, clinging to a pleasant hill on the last foothills of the Apennines towards the Po Valley, has very remote origins: the Piacenza chronicles say mention of its existence since 566!! 


Lose yourself in its streets that lead towards the Rocca Viscontea: an imposing brick building, of a purely defensive nature, in a strategically dominant position over the surrounding valley. Furthermore, the high tower overlooking the village square had the double function of defense from external enemies and control over the inhabitants. The climb is breathtaking and will provide a grandiose panorama!

In the 19th and 20th centuries, until the 1960s, the fortress was used as a prison. 

Curiosity! In 1985, many scenes of the film "Ladyhawke" were filmed in Castell'Arquato with Michelle Pfeiffer, Rutger Hauer and Matthew Broderick.


Free lunch in one of the typical restaurants (reservation recommended, we can support you!)


Head towards Vigoleno, the village to be experienced slowly: the imposing walls, climb the keep of the Castle and walk along the crenellated walkway. Stop in the Romanesque parish church of San Giorgio. Every stone is a story: follow the guided tour to learn about the stories, anecdotes, habits and customs of the place from the passionate voice of the local guides.


(museum times and openings vary depending on the time of the year, they will be defined during the booking phase)
