Lungo il torrente Alpone tra campagna e storia

The itinerary starts from the Abbey of Villanova, a splendid abbey complex built at the end of the 8th century, whose facade is characterized by various historical and artistic periods: Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque.

In a short time, one exits the town and finds themselves walking along the banks of the Alpone stream thanks to a pleasant pedestrian and cycling path from which one can enjoy a view that spans the entire plain and find many natural or artificial glimpses on which to set their gaze.

Other interesting historical and artistic highlights of the itinerary include: Villa Gritti, an enchanting residence from the 15th century, once the seat of noble families that dominated the territory, surrounded by a splendid Italian garden featuring impressive ancient trees; The Park of Remembrance, a small hill of volcanic origin located in Motta di San Bonifacio, where a castle once stood, the ruins of which can still be admired, giving a romantic appearance to this small place that guards history.
