Albinea-Bellarosa Loop

The departure is from Villa Tarabini, a historic residence and home to the municipal Acetaia (balsamic vinegar cellar). From the villa, the route leads to Piazzale Lavezza and climbs up Via Castellana to reach the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Lourdes, a 19th-century church in the Gothic-Lombard style. The route continues alongside Montericco Castle and then reaches Via Oliveto. From this point, the road heads downhill, and along the way, you encounter the Church of the Madonna dell’Oliveto, built in a neoclassical style. Having become the parish church of Montericco, Ludovico Ariosto served as its rector for a certain period.
