The 357th giant bench of the Big Bench Community Project was "born" in Veano di Vigolzone, next to the long tree-lined avenue. From here, visitors can admire the splendid panorama and landscape of the Piacenza hills and valley, while also learning about the history of one of Piacenza's most illustrious citizens: Giulio Alberoni, his College, the artistic heritage it houses, and the Veano estate. Cardinal red is the color of the large bench awaiting travelers, tourists, walkers, cyclists, and the large community of bench-holders in Veano; red like the purple of Giulio Alberoni's cardinal's robe, which stands out in the most famous portrait for which the illustrious Piacenza native is recognized worldwide. It is the second in the Vigolzone area, after the one in Villò, inaugurated in 2022. https://www.ilpiacenza.it/attualita/installata-una-panchina-gigante-a-veano.html © IlPiacenza

The presence of a castle in Vigolzonum or Vigolizonum seems to date back to 1095. The layout of the castle, which combines the needs of a good defense with the comforts of a stately home, is developed on a rectangular plan with two towers arranged at opposite corners. The largest, to the north-west, also served as a keep: with a square base and adorned with swallowtail battlements, it towered above the drawbridge by about 40 metres. Of the imposing building, the two ancient-looking towers stand out where the inscription is located which, welcoming guests, reports news on the foundation of the castle

A church dedicated to Saints Cosma and Damiano in Castellana, a hamlet of Gropparello, is already documented in pastoral visits of the 16th century. The current building was built in 1937 in neo-medieval style, designed by the Piacenza engineer Francesco De Benedetti. Elements of Gothic and Romanesque style are used in the exposed brick gabled façade. The bell tower stands alone on the right of the apse. With a square plan, exposed stone on three orders, it has a bell tower open on all four sides with round arches. The cell is covered with a cone-shaped terracotta roof. The interior of the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano in Castellana is divided into three naves; the marble altar and the wooden crucifix are interesting

Piplon, a foolish devil, one day fell in love with a beautiful girl named Gesandra, but the young girl would not have anything to do with him. To deceive her, therefore, he disguised himself as a knight and sought the collaboration of Brother Gesualdo, a local religious man, to intercede for him. But the friar did not let himself be ensnared and deceived him in turn. He told him to come back in a week and carved a rock in his own likeness; Once the devil returned, Brother Gesualdo convinced him that the girl would marry him only if he waited for her, immobile, in that place for seven years, seven months and seven days and offered to stay with him while waiting. Months passed and then years and Piplon fell asleep, carelessly letting the sand carried by the wind cover him and transform him into the rock that can still be seen today on the road to Castellana, in the municipality of Gropparello.
