day 1
Arrive in Tortona by train + bike or by car (possibility to rent e-bike): the ancient Roman Derthona crossroads of the oldest road networks and consequently custodian of many treasures. Walk in the historic centre of Tortona along via Emilia and stop off at the Pinacoteca Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio to visit "Il Divisionismo" permanent exhibition dedicated to this artistic period with works by Giuseppe Pellizza, Morbelli, Segantini, Severini, 125 works and 40 artists.
To follow, we recommend the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the Civic Theatre, the Church of Santa Maria dei Canali the oldest of the town, Palazzo Guidobono and the Basilica of Madonna della Guardia built at the behest of San Luigi Orione, the adjacent tower hosts a gold-plated bronze statue of the Madonna with child at a height of 14 metres.
During the tour, not-to-be-missed stop in one of the historic pastry shops to enjoy the baci dorati, a speciality since 1898.
A few kilometres from Tortona, in Viguzzolo visit the Romanesque Church of Santa Maria. Here, in June – July, a passionate gardener has been growing strawberries and lavender on a soft and sinuous slope since 2007!
Dinner at leisure in Tortona and overnight accommodation in b&b/agriturismo in the surrounding areas.
