The small capitals of the Po River
Brescello - Boretto - Gualtieri - Guastalla - Luzzara
Through short countryside streets it is easy to reach Brescello, famous for Guareschi's characters, Don Camillo and Peppone, to whom museums and memories throughout the town are dedicated; the Archaeological Museum is also very important. From here, on the cycle path along the banks, it is possible to reach Boretto, river port with its tourist boat and - going on biking - other Renaissance towns: Gualtieri, with its imposing piazza Bentivoglio and the Museum dedicated to the "naive art" painter Antonio Ligabue; Guastalla, that still maintains the style of small capital with memories of Gonzaga dominion; Luzzara, native town of Cesare Zavattini and of "naive art" painters with its Museum of Naive Arts. There is also a route with poplars, spontaneous brush and many stretches of water.
