This very low-traffic stretch of the Pizzofreddo municipal road runs along a very scenic ridge.

This stretch of the road connecting the hamlets of Torrone and Pizzofreddo is very scenic, as it runs along a ridge offering open views of the Versa Valley on one side and the Tidone Valley on the other.

In this stretch the road runs along a ridge from which there is an open view of the vineyards on both sides, with several lines of mountains that follow one another towards the horizon.

In autumn the vineyards take on warm colors, with all the shades of color from dark green, to yellow and red. In the background you can see San Damiano al Colle on the right and Costa Montefedele on the left.

The current urban structure is the result of the Po floods that often hit the city in the past; the most serious occurred in 1786. Today it is an agricultural centre and poplars are grown there. The parish church dedicated to Sant'Antonio Abate was built in 1394 by order of Umbertino Negri. The patron saint is celebrated on 17 January.

The church of San Michele Arcangelo is in an excellent state of conservation thanks to recent restorations. The façade shows a typical style of the 17th century and is divided into two parts by a horizontal brick frame. At the bottom, there are three portals flanked by slender pilasters. Above the central portal is a fresco dedicated to the saint. The upper half is framed by two curly volutes and two hollow niches that enclose a central window. The façade is crowned by a slightly projecting tympanum with a cross and three columns. The colours of the façade, a delicate balance between white and brown, give a foretaste of the opulence and wealth inside.

The Castello di Belgioioso, has a rich and fascinating history. The castle was originally built in the 14th century by the Belgioioso family. It served as a fortified residence to protect the surrounding area and as a symbol of power and prestige. In the 16th century, the castle underwent important renovations and extensions. The architecture was influenced by the Renaissance style, with elegant loggias, arcades and beautiful frescoes. In the 18th century, Antonio Barbiano obtained the elevation of Belgioioso to a principality in 1796 and expanded and rebuilt the medieval castle, enriched with extensive gardens and greenhouses in neoclassical style by the architect Leopold Pollack. In the 19th century, the castle became a meeting place for artists, writers and philosophers. It was a breeding ground for creativity and intellectual exchange. Today, the Castle of Belgioioso is managed by the Ente Fiera dei Castelli di Belgioioso e Sartirana. It organizes exhibitions and events that highlight the history, art and culture of the region.
