센토 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, also known by the pseudonym Il Guercino, was a 16th-century Italian painter born in Cento.

A small sign of faith in the countryside

Reachable via an easy road or on foot through the wonderful path known as the 7 maceri. The house cannot be visited but deserves some photos on sunny days. A disturbing mystery obscures the past of Ariosto and his summer villa in Cento. Tradition says that during the night the cry of a little girl is heard and what, according to some, is the breath of the Devil himself. It is a large villa complete with an adjoining deconsecrated church, all hidden by dense vegetation. A few years ago the villa was the center of media interest, people flocked from all over Italy to hear the ghost's howling; it was later discovered that the dark howls or strange noises belonged to a giant owl that got stuck in the gutters.

Well worth a stop on your way through Cento. There are a few cafés nearby. Thursday morning is market day.

Great in the early morning or evening when the crowds of walkers are gone.
