Mini Guide, what to visit in Rome and Piacenza
Visit Piacenza by train. Piacenza is one of those jewels of Emilia Romagna which, despite not being a very famous witch, attracts anyone who visits it with its history and cultural liveliness. Stopping in the city means being amazed by the works of Botticelli, Guercino and Pordenone. It is easy to get carried away by the air of Piacenza with its nature halfway between the quiet village and the indolent elegance of a big city.
What are the main attractions of Piacenza
Arriving by train you can visit Piacenza comfortably on foot, to fully enjoy all the tourist attractions! Close to the city walls stands, for example, the Basilica of Santa Maria di Campagna, where Pope Urban gave the order that started the first Crusade. This important place of worship inside is entirely frescoed by the works of Pordenone and Bernardo Gatti: do not miss the dome and the Chapel of Santa Caterina.
Those who really want to discover Piacenza must start from Piazza Cavalli, the nerve center of the city that houses the Gothic Palace, decorated with extraordinary bricks and battlements, which is also striking for the large porch in red Verona marble: it was no coincidence that it must have been the emblem of weight city politician. The neoclassical style Palazzo del Governatore and the Collegio dei Mercanti also overlook the square. If all the beauty of Piacenza is still not enough, a visit to Palazzo Farnese will be enough to leave you amazed with the Civic Museum and its immense sections dedicated to weapons, carriages, medieval frescoes and much more.
Finally, how can you miss a visit to the Duomo of Piacenza? The cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and Santa Giustina has the exterior decorated and built in two colors with sandstone and pink marble and its bell tower is over 72.5 meters high. Inside it also houses a medieval crypt with the relics of Saint Justina, the dome frescoed by Guercino and an ancient baptismal font from the 5th century. The city is an extremely lively place and that is why one must also discover the Alberoni Gallery: a museum that houses important paintings such as the Ecce Homo by Antonello da Messina and the Ricci Oddi Gallery of Modern Art.
The cuisine of Piacenza
Surely the long walk among the works of art will have made visitors hungry and Piacenza is ready to offer wonderful gastronomic specialties. Pisarei and faso, anolini and tortellini con la coda are typical first courses that will surprise you; for those with a sweet tooth, there are two cheeses and three PDO cured meats: Grana Padano and Provolone Valpadano, coppa, salami and pancetta. To conclude the meal, an excellent local digestive is Bargnolino.
