ジェルマニャーノのおすすめツーリングルート

Passo della Croce di Chiaves, a very tough but interesting climb!

Pizzeria and Trattoria La Piazzetta, excellent and generous sandwiches for a pleasant stop. Good beer! Recommended!!

This 13th-century church of the Confraternity of the Disciplinati di Santa Croce has been remodeled over the centuries, but retains its general 13th-century layout: in particular, the portal with a round arch, the semicircular rose window, and several small terracotta arches on the side. The exposed stone bell tower has a beautiful modern sundial (1995). It is located just outside the historic center, on Via Roma, and is worth a visit.

Full official name: "Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows and of Saint Michael the Archangel." Dating back to the 17th century, it has been extensively remodeled several times, reaching its current form in 1994, when the original frescoes were replaced with trompe-l'oeil paintings depicting the same subjects. The effect is very pleasing. In front, there is a drinking fountain.

To the side of the provincial road, a beautiful, well-preserved chapel dedicated to Saint Lucy; next to it, a covered fountain-washhouse with drinkable water.

A humpbacked stone bridge, right at the entrance to the village. I'm surprised it's not nicknamed "Devil's Bridge."

A beautiful stone fountain with drinkable water. Opposite is the church of San Giovanni, which gives the village its name.
