This road, despite being close to several towns and not far from Borgonovo, has the appearance of a country road immersed in vineyards that in autumn take on very warm colours that, in some cases, veer into all shades of red.

The Tidone Valley is characterized by alternating vineyards, crops and small wooded areas, with many beautiful villages that dot the landscape.

In this stretch the road runs along a ridge from which there is an open view of the vineyards on both sides, with several lines of mountains that follow one another towards the horizon.

In autumn the vineyards take on warm colors, with all the shades of color from dark green, to yellow and red. In the background you can see San Damiano al Colle on the right and Costa Montefedele on the left.

The origin of the castle, originally called Sanctum Miniatum, probably dates back to before the year 1000, as in a document from 1027, concerning the missing church of Santa Mustiola, it is stated that it stood near the fortress. The complex maintains its original appearance with two parallel buildings, but the external appearance has been heavily tampered with. The extensive wall enclosure that surrounded the hill has been lost. The main entrance, previously protected by a drawbridge, can be reached by a staircase of 52 steps.

Vicobarone, of Roman origins, takes its name from a 'Vicus Varroni' of the imperial era and has been known as "Vici Baruni" since the year 833. Possession of the monastery of Bobbio and considered one of the first organized communities in the area, it expanded thanks to the numerous and important monastic cells of the Bobbio monastery, present in the area. The transformation of the castle dates back to the end of the seventeenth century, carried out by the Marquises Malvicini Fontana who made it an elegant residence with large and well-kept cellars. A final renovation was recently carried out by the current owners who adapted the building to accommodate tourists without altering its architectural characteristics and recovering the thousandth tower in which the "blade well" from the feudal era was located.
