It would be a spectacular route but unfortunately lately, given the adverse weather, it is practically impassable along certain sections, and above all both the bridges and the fords are missing, which are now impassable. A big shame!

According to legend, some pilgrims wanted to attend midnight mass in the city on Christmas Eve in 999, but due to the thick fog their boats could not cross the river. Suddenly, a man dressed in red arrived and promised that he would immediately build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross the bridge. The man in red was the devil, and only the Archangel Michael, who had come from the nearby church, recognized him. Michael pretended to agree to the deal, but once the bridge was built, a goat crossed it first. The bridge is therefore also known as the Ponte del Diavolo ("Devil's Bridge").

The covered bridge has its origins in Roman times. The current one was constructed in the 14th century and covered in 1583. Upstream of the bridge you can still see pillars of the original bridge, reconstructed after the Second World War. A memorial stone on the bridge tells that Albert Einstein stayed in Pavia for several months and loved the place.

The Santuario Madonna della Bozzola is a diocesan reference point for pastoral care, located in Tromello, province of Pavia, region of Lombardy. This sanctuary, dedicated to Our Lady of the Bozzola, is a place of encounter, reflection and spiritual growth. The shrine has its origins in a miraculous apparition of Maria Benedetta in 1465. Maria invited the faithful to build a chapel and later a church in her honor on this site. The church, founded at the beginning of the 16th century, has a cotto facade with frescoes in the lunettes of the portals. Inside is a painting of Our Lady of the Bozzola. The shrine was restored in 1983.

The Bereguardo pontoon bridge was built for the first time in 1347 at the behest of the Visconti family. Since then it has always been rebuilt following the same technique where the vehicle surface rests on barges. This technique allows the bridge to adapt to the river's water flows by following its level. The current barges are made of concrete and steel and were positioned in 1913. Today the Bereguardo bridge remains one of the most characteristic views of this area, nevertheless its future is uncertain. Due to the drought, the barges very often rest on the bottom of the Ticino, making the vehicle surface irregular and difficult to cross.
