The Castello di Cigognola (often searched as Cicognola) and its famous Belvedere are one of the most iconic historical and scenic complexes in the Oltrepò Pavese. Located at an altitude of 309 meters in the municipality of Cigognola (Pavia), the complex strategically overlooks the outlet of the Valle Scuropasso into the plains. On clear days, the public Belvedere offers an extraordinary view that stretches from Pavia to Milan, even revealing the entire Alpine chain and Monte Rosa.

Piazza Cavalli is the beating heart and undisputed symbol of the historic center of Piacenza. Formerly known as Piazza Grande, it owes its current name to the two famous bronze equestrian monuments positioned on either side of the magnificent Palazzo Gotico.

The villa was built according to its original design by Count Antonio Cavazzi della Somaglia, VIII Count and Baron of Somaglia, to showcase the power of his family, in an area where he owned several lands and estates. The count entrusted the design to architect Giovanni Ruggeri. Upon his death in 1688, Antonio bequeathed the villa to his great-nephew Antonio Dati, who subsequently assumed the title of Count of Somaglia. Dati oversaw the expansion of the palace, transforming it into a majestic residence intended as a holiday resort and meeting place for great figures of 18th-century Italian literature and culture, but he never lived to see the work completed, which was completed by his son Antonio Giovanni Battista in 1749.

We begin to climb the hills of Oltrepo. Vineyards as far as the eye can see and roads without traffic. A marvel for the bike. Asphalt could be improved

Beautiful places, full of villages and castles that are worth visiting. I did them by bike participating in a Randonnee and I discovered an area that I did not know.
