Chapel along the path

There is no certain information on the date of foundation of this castle nor on the origin of its name. Biscina, derived from the word "biscia", could refer to the course of the Chiascio river which draws curves downstream that recall the movement of a snake. What is certain is known that between the 10th and 14th centuries the castle was part of a complex of fortifications belonging to the Bigazzini di Coccorano, the local lords. Today the structure is in a state of abandonment, the last renovation dates back to the seventies but the complex was seriously damaged by the 1984 earthquake.

The Ripe church is a small building surrounded by the forest of the Chiascio river valley. Over the years it has become a symbol of the passage of all the people who have passed through here. The memories left behind testify to the strong bond between this little church and those who travel the surrounding paths and streets. Inside there is only a frescoed wall depicting a scene of the Madonna and Child.

This church is located on Via di Francesco and its origins date back to the 11th century. It is located north of Valfabbrica on the right bank of the Chiascio river. The climb from Barcaccia to Biscina is about 250 meters from the castle of Coccorano. The current church, which has undergone numerous renovations over the centuries, retains the apse to the east with the dedicated bell tower above. Below the church there is a small place to rest and a fantastic view of the valley.

Located on the St. Francis Way, the pilgrim passes the Chiesetta delle Ripe or Madonna delle Grazie (Madonna of Grace), one of the particularly touching places along the way. Souvenirs from passing pilgrims are kept here. It is worth stopping and lingering here for a moment to meditate.

The castle complex, which can be seen from afar, dates back to the twelfth century and belonged to the Coccorano family. In earlier times it connected three important points in the surrounding region and was of strategic importance in order to be able to defend against possible enemies. Over the years it passed through the hands of numerous owners who had it restored several times.
