Berceto is a charming village located in the Parma Apennines, at an altitude of 852 meters above sea level. It is located halfway between Parma and La Spezia, in the valley of the Taro river, in the Emilia-Romagna region
Berceto is a stop on the Via Francigena, the pilgrimage route of early medieval Christianity to Rome. The ancient village preserves the character and atmosphere typical of the Middle Ages, with stone houses, buildings from the 12th to the 17th centuries and the ruins of a castle.
Some of the main attractions are the Cathedral of St. Moderanno, an important example of Romanesque architecture, and the ruins of the Castle of Berceto. Next to the church is the Cathedral Museum, which preserves sacred furniture and vestments, including the 12th century Cape of San Moderanno.

Pontremoli Cathedral (Co-Cathedral of Saint Mary of the People)

Highlight • Religious Site

Pontremoli - shaking bridge - is the northernmost town in all of Tuscany and one of the most distinctive centers of Lunigiana. Built on a plain surrounded by hills and mountains, the city is a small jewel of artistic and monumental heritage. It is recognized by historians as the mythical Apua, the ancient capital of the Ligurian-Apuanian civilization. By crossing the medieval bridges and walking along the streets, you will find yourself in a mythical era. It is also a stop on the Via Francigena, the pilgrimage route that connects Canterbury in England with Rome.

Historic Center of Pontremoli

Highlight • Historical Site

Located in the Tuscany region of Italy, the historic center of Pontremoli is a beautiful place that breathes history.
You will find a beautiful church on the central square of the city. Next door is the city's most famous coffee shop, the Caffè Pasticceria Aichta.
Do you follow the signs towards the castle? Then you take a beautiful walk to the Castle of Piagnaro. Here is the museum of the Stele statues, where you can see many special statues.
Walk around the old center and you will immediately notice: there are many bridges here. Pontremoli literally means shaking bridge.
Pontremoli has many beautiful buildings and the best preserved is perhaps the Villa Dosi Delfini. This Villa is a true work of art in Baroque style.

Today we have another mountain challenge with over 1,000 meters of elevation gain. And for once, it doesn't look like rain 😁 Just beyond Pontremoli, the first switchbacks of the Cisa Pass challenge us with 800 meters of elevation gain in one go. The gradient is moderate, traffic is light, and the temperature is pleasantly cool. The views are 🤩🤩🤩 …
