카사레키오 디 레노‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

beautiful view

They are the Calanchi di Montemaggiore, a trap from which it is really hard to escape when wet, but otherwise a passage of unparalleled charm, for the calanchi themselves and thanks to the vast inclined plane of the vineyards lying down to the east of the passage, an epiphany! As a dirt road it also represents a very valid connection between the area of San Lorenzo in Collina, San Martino, Pradalbino and the Samoggia Valley between Stiore and Savigno, thanks to the path that, among the vineyards of the Botti winery, descends into that valley from the Church of Montemaggiore.

This sinkhole is surrounded like a crown by selenite "candles".

The top of Mount Calvo is... bald, and this allows the view to sweep wide and caress with the eyes the ridges that descend towards the Val di Zena.

Also known to the Casalecchiesi as Parco Talon, it consists of what remains of the possessions of the marquises Sampieri Talon, who from the 17th century built villas (Villa Sampieri Talon) and a park on the land they owned; the current structure of the park suggests the original design: a large garden extended around the two villas, built according to the canons of the French school of Le Notre, then a small Italian garden, finally a vast English park which it opened up suggestive views of the river and the surrounding fields and vineyards. The picture was completed by a pond, statues, kiosks, and exotic settings, according to the tastes of the time. Behind the villas, on the steep slope of the hill, extends the forest, a hunting and timber reserve. The park has seen moments of great social splendor, particularly in the 18th century, and has hosted parties and famous people. Since 1975 the park has been municipal property and has been open to the public, and even if time and history have had a heavy impact, it is still possible to imagine the ancient noble glories. It currently constitutes an invaluable public heritage, a destination for hundreds of citizens every day, with historical and naturalistic evidence of great value. The park is crossed by the Sentiero dei Bregoli.
