Rovescala

The village of Rovescala lies in a hilly position in the small valley of the Bardonezza stream, on the border with the province of Piacenza, and can be reached by following a scenic road that winds through the vineyards of the Oltrepò Pavese.

The origins of this locality are ancient and intertwined with the history of the Lombards: in the hamlet of Luzzano, in 1961, the Lombard tombs of four men who lived in the 7th century were discovered. They were buried with their weapons — scramasax (a type of long knife), swords, shields, and spearheads.

Every Sunday in March, Rovescala celebrates the “Spring of Wines” & the “Bonarda Festival,” an unmissable event to taste the best local wine labels, accompanied by delicacies and specialties from the area.
