The small capitals of the Po River

The 30 km that divide Reggio Emilia from the Great River help us discover the small Renaissance capitals along the Po river as well as an amazing historical and natural landscape.

 

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.
