Used for food preservation, in the winter it was filled with snow and straw: the straw had an insulating function, while the snow, with its weight, became ice compacting inside the structure. This allowed the preservation of food in the summer. We are in "Scorzarolo", an old abandoned village near Verolavecchia (BS), here the icehouse most likely served two dairies for the processing of dairy products. The icehouse or "neviera" is made in a truncated cone shape with a circular plan and walls, usually in brick masonry or, like the one in Scorzarolo, in bricks, the ceiling is made in a dome. There are small windows and an entrance, the structure is about 4m deep.

The Scorzarolo Ice House: Ingenuity and Tradition This circular brick structure, with an ogival roof and about four meters deep, was filled with snow in the winter to preserve food during the summer. It may also have had a public-health service function, making it a key element of rural life at the time.

Next to the silent ruins of a large farmhouse in Verolavecchia, the ancient icehouse resists time, guardian of an agricultural past that tells of ingenuity and tradition. A precious testimony, immersed in the placid simplicity of the plain, where every brick speaks of toil and life lived. Discover it with a slow cycle tourism: pedal among memories of times gone by and let yourself be enveloped by the hidden details of a territory that knows how to excite with its authenticity. Here, in the heart of Bassa Bresciana, even the past continues to breathe.

Always a happy presence and a passage in many of our tours, I think it is one of the most photographed highlights

Very simple church from 1600 was originally also provided with three other altars, one dedicated to the Body of Christ (with a painted altarpiece and in poor condition), one dedicated to the saints Christopher and Anthony with a fresco, and one to Saint Rocco with a painted altarpiece depicting the saint together with Saint Sebastian and the Blessed Virgin. There were two entrances (one on the front and one on the side) and the windows were without glass, protected only by tattered cloths. The floor was only partially paved with tiles, the rest was in beaten earth. The Grand Chancellor of the County of Romanengo, Diego Salazar, donated in 1618 the relics of twelve saints placed in a precious wooden reliquary, now disappeared. The building was probably expanded at an unspecified period, maintaining its original characteristics.

Nice route. Areas I frequent often. A tip. Po, proper name of river, is written as you see it written here, without accent.

The Naviglio Pallavicino, a historic canal in the Cremona irrigation network, crosses the agricultural landscape with its waterways and bridges. A place where history and nature meet, offering a fascinating journey through fields and ancient villages.
