Hunchback Bridge or Devil's Bridge In the Middle Ages, the construction of a bridge was considered a miraculous feat. For this reason, the construction of such structures gave rise to many legends, often involving the devil: joining two places that God had wanted separated was seen by many as a "diabolical" work. According to an ancient legend, Saint Columbanus, a 7th-century Irish monk, was eager to bring the word of God to the people living on the other bank of the Trebbia River, near the town of Bobbio. The devil promised to build the bridge in a single night, in exchange for the first mortal soul to cross it. The saint accepted. That night, the devil summoned several little devils who assisted him in the construction work, holding up the bridge's arches. The demons were of different heights, and thus the various arches of the bridge were of varying sizes. In the morning, the devil stationed himself at the end of the bridge to demand his payment. But Saint Columbanus outwitted him by having his poor, suffering and very sick dog (some say it was a bear) cross the bridge instead of a man. The enraged devil returned to hell, but not before kicking his handiwork, which has been crooked ever since. It is said that the footprints of the unfortunate animal that served as a guinea pig still remain in the crypt of the Church of Saint Columbanus. The Hunchback Bridge, also known as the Ponte Vecchio or, more precisely, the Devil's Bridge, is a Roman structure that has undergone numerous renovations over the centuries. The structure above dates back to the 7th century, but traces of an older bridge, dating back to before Columbanus' arrival, have been found underneath. The bridge, characterized by its undulating shape, irregular arches, and relatively narrow carriageway, is 280 meters long and connects the two banks of the river through a complicated succession of 11 irregular spans, varying in span and height, creating an undulating path from one end to the other. The Bobbio Bridge, now used only as a pedestrian crossing, is the very symbol of the city of San Colombano, as well as one of the strangest and most original architectural structures in Italy.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montelungo is located in the parish of the Frazione di Ruino and is part of the Diocese of Piacenza - Bobbio. It stands on the extended ridge of a hill. Among the Marian sanctuaries in Italy, this one of Montelungo is certainly one of the oldest.

Its history dates back to the time of Charlemagne, when in 774 the emperor donated the site of Montelungo to the Monastery of San Colombano, founded in Bobbio in the year 614. According to popular tradition, the church was built following the apparitions of the Madonna to a poor deaf-mute girl from Lagagnolo, who was then miraculously healed. The healed young woman was then asked to build a new sanctuary where the Madonna would perform many miracles. Over the years the church was rebuilt several times and of the original, the fresco from 1230 with the miraculous image of the Virgin and the Infant Child remains on the high altar.
