アンニッコのおすすめライド

ピッツィゲトーネ（クレモナ）の城壁と塔は、北イタリアで最も保存状態が良く、最も重要な城壁群の1つを構成しています。アッダ川のほとりに位置するこの印象的な軍事要塞は、高さ約12メートル、一部では厚さ4メートルに達する壁の厚さを誇ります。そのユニークさは、「カゼマッテ」の存在にあり、これは完全に覆われ、互いに連絡を取り合っている一連の連続した内部空間です。

ついに教会、あまりごちゃごちゃしていない

Worth seeing with a guided tour offered by the tourist office

Church of San Pietro (Shrine of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart) in the nearby village of Gera, an 18th-century Marian sanctuary entirely covered in marble and mosaics to celebrate the figure of the Virgin, present both inside and outside at the initiative of the priest Pietro Mizzi (parish priest of Pizzighettone until 1999) who dedicated his entire life to its embellishment.

This brick tower, approximately 40 meters tall, is the bell tower of the ancient Romanesque church of Santa Maria della Neve, now lost. It is known as the Torre della Norma and is the historical symbol of Casalbuttano. Dating back to the 12th century, it retains the sober and massive appearance typical of medieval Lombard architecture. As you climb into the village, you immediately notice its imposing presence: a visual landmark that tells the story of the long history of this agricultural village in the Cremona plain.

Pizzighettone boasts one of the best-preserved city walls in Lombardy. Built in the Middle Ages and then reinforced during the Spanish era, they still surround a large portion of the historic center along the banks of the Adda River. The casemates and internal walkways allow you to imagine military life in the past, when the village was a strategic garrison between Milan and Cremona. Strolling around the walls, you can admire towers, bastions, and perfectly restored sections.
