The mouth of the Enza river has become a fascinating nature reserve, covered with poplar trees and other plants, such as alders, maples and elderberry. The reserve is rich in the typical flora and fauna of the Po area. There, the Ecological Rebalancing Area around the lake/quarry – in the countryside - is entirely accessible. Proceeding towards the “Lido” area, the itinerary continues along Via Soliani, to the town centre, where it is possible to admire Piazza Matteotti. Between the “Lido” area and the square, you will discover places and memories related to the renowned “Peppone e Don Camillo” saga.

In the town centre, you will also find the Church of Santa Maria Nascente (where the “Cristo Parlante” by sculptor Bruno Avesani is preserved), the statues depicting Peppone (Town Hall side) and Don Camillo (Church side), the Town Hall and the typical Emilian porticoes. From there, it is possible to walk the streets and the alleys of the “mondo piccolo” (small world) and to visit three museums, walking through Guareschi Park and admiring the former Benedictine Convent dating back to 1492.

The itinerary continues with a stop at the small chapel “Madonnina del Borghetto”, related to the film “Don Camillo Mon Signore… Ma non troppo”, and then moves towards the embankment which merges in that of the Enza stream. Along the route, you may explore the area of the “Enza Morta” quarry – originated from extractive activities. Public intervention made it possible to create beautiful rural landscapes and wooded areas. Moving from the embankment, the route continues in Ghiarole, a hamlet placed near the Po floodplain, where you will find the Church of the Beata Vergine del Caravaggio and an old tavern. Nearby, a path partly located in the Parma area leads to the Coenzo Bridge.

Finally, from the embankment, it is possible to admire the estate “Favagrossa”, an ancient court with a 13th-century medieval bell tower, a legacy of the Canossa family, subsequently part of the monastic complex of Brescello, which over the centuries passed to private property. The estate also appears in the film “Don Camillo” (1952), as the background of the clash between agrarian and labourers and the rivalry between neighbouring families. It is possible to make a stop in Lentigione – an ancient village, now hamlet of Brescello – where the Parish Church of the Santissima Annunziata and the Lateran Oratory “Bacchi Mellini” (“Via Imperiale Superiore”) are located.
