ソレジナのおすすめツーリングルート

What a nice surprise to find it in front of you on the way to Soncino!

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.

Very beautiful, almost entirely shaded and cool. In some places, the vegetation is very lush, but there are alternative routes. As always, there are the inevitable fallen tree trunks along the way. One in particular is 15 cm in diameter, but you can climb over it. Have a good trip!

Soncino: a journey through time amidst walls and mysteries. In the heart of the Lombardy plain, Soncino offers a journey back in time. The majestic Sforza Castle, with its imposing towers and intact moat, tells stories of battles and ancient splendor. Strolling through the village's alleys, you'll discover secret corners, hidden frescoes, and a medieval atmosphere that will make you feel like you're in a fairytale. Perfect for those seeking an adventure between history and nature!

Cross the village of Pumenengo and be enchanted by the landscapes along the Oglio River. The castle, once a strategic bulwark between the Duchy of Milan and the Republic of Venice, today tells stories of noble families and ancient legends.

The hydraulic junction of the Tombe Morte-Tredici Ponti constitutes the most important concentration of artificial waterways in the province of Cremona, irrigating approximately 85,000 hectares of countryside. Here the Naviglio Civico di Cremona, the Naviglio Grande Pallavicino and the Canale Vacchelli intersect, the latter pouring almost all of its flow into the Naviglio Pallavicino, the Naviglio Civico and a dozen irrigation ditches through an impressive system of locks. Finally, a spillway, built between 1968 and 1981, detaches from the junction, which discharges any excess flow from the Naviglio Civico, the Naviglio Pallavicino and the Vacchelli into the Oglio river. Two different hypotheses have been made regarding the origin of the name, the first would originate from the term tomba which is synonymous with siphon, a hydraulic element that connects two conduits. Probably some of these artifacts would have fallen into disuse, hence the adjective death. Another hypothesis is linked to the discovery of several dozen burials dating back to the late Roman era.

Perfect refreshment! Well done! The courtesans' welcome was nice

The intersection of these channels is very suggestive
