This very low-traffic stretch of the Pizzofreddo municipal road runs along a very scenic ridge.

The Rocca di Pianello Val Tidone is an imposing medieval fortress dating back to the 13th century. Built for defensive purposes, the fortress dominates the village with its massive walls and strategic position. Today it houses the Archaeological Museum of Val Tidone, which preserves prehistoric, Roman and medieval finds, offering an overview of local history.

The origins of the village of Nibbiano date back to before the year 1000, a time when it is assumed that the complex was a walled-fortified village with the castle at the center. Some buildings, in fact, still show signs of the slits used to place drawbridges and walkways and the castle tower itself still retains its blocked-up battlements. Until the 14th century it was part of the possessions of the Monastery of San Colombano di Bobbio and in 1335 it passed to the Marquises Malvicini Fontana; in 1765 the Azara family owned the entire village. The castle, built in 1029, is made up of various portions that have been remodeled, demolished and rebuilt over time, especially between the 17th and 18th centuries, until it was transformed into Palazzo Malvicini Fontana with its current conformation. The internal staircase features a 17th-century fresco on the ceiling depicting the coats of arms of the Malvicini Fontana and Dal Verme families.

The bell tower of the Pieve di Stadera emerges from the waves of the road, which in this stretch is constantly up and down.

On 14-11-2024 I passed through the stretch, Molino del Gobbo and Molino Rizzo, the path was cleared from the extraordinary fall of trees. I did not find objects, trees that obstructed the passage,

The Tidone trail is a hiking trail almost 70 kilometers long. At this point, between Pianello and Nibbiano, the course of the river is easily observable. The Tidone trail is also managed by an association that aims to help people discover the beauty of these valleys: https://sentierodeltidone.eu.

The stretch, between Molino del Gobbo and Molino Rizzo, was the subject of an extraordinary fall of trees (about ten), many of which were large, which forced the Sentiero del Tidone association to close the stretch for cleaning and cutting fallen plants and restoring the path. Some fallen trees even have a height span of a couple of meters. The photos highlight the first part of the closed section, approximately 800 m. but the affected stretch continues up to Molino Rizzo, with a total of 1.60 km!
