The Rocca Sforzesca in Soncino is one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in northern Italy, located in the historic village of Soncino (Cremona). Built starting in 1473 at the behest of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, it represents a perfect example of 15th-century military architecture, famous for its imposing towers (including the characteristic cylindrical captain's tower) and its fully walkable patrol walkways.

Monticelli d’Oglio is a small village suspended in time, perched on a hill (“Munticulo”) overlooking the right bank of the Oglio river, in the heart of the Parco Oglio Nord. Its charm lies precisely in this contrast: a compact historic center, almost an island of ancient houses, immersed in a flat and silent countryside, where time seems to flow more slowly.

The Ciclovia dell'Oglio winds along the suggestive Sentiero Verde dell'Oglio in Bassa Bresciana. It is a predominantly flat route immersed in nature, ideal for cycle tourism lovers.

The Naviglio Civico di Cremona is a historic artificial canal of about 57 km (reaching over 75 km considering the underground section "Cremonella" and the final stretch into the Po River), built in 1337 for irrigation purposes and still fundamental for agriculture today. It crosses the province from north to south, connecting the Oglio river to the city, characterized by a landscape rich in biodiversity, ancient farmhouses, and a cycle path.

We reached our destination on gravel, a beautiful spot. We ate in peace and quiet in the sun on a wooden bench facing the castle. I'll return with my family to see what the guides have to offer. Reservations are required.
