Cecima

Cecima stands atop a plateau ridge, recognizable by its ancient church rising among the trees. The village has preserved its original medieval appearance, characterized by numerous architectural testimonies. The settlement is traversed by a maze of narrow alleys that intertwine, creating picturesque glimpses. The internal streets are paved with pebbles from the Staffora stream, the same material used for the exposed stone walls of many buildings. Of particular artistic interest are the bastions of the ancient walls, of which only a few ruins remain. Visible traces include the Porta Soprana, demolished in 1936, the now-filled moat, and the castle that once stood at the southwestern end of the village. In the square of the churchyard stands the Parish Church of Saints Martin and Lazarus, rebuilt near the previous 12th-century church, which collapsed due to minor landslides in the early 15th century. It was reconstructed in 1460 in a beautiful late Gothic Lombard style through the patronage of Cardinal Jacopo Ammannati Piccolomini, Bishop of Pavia. However, due to similar geological issues, structural damage appeared over time, leading the Superintendence to order its demolition for safety reasons. The façade, however, was entirely preserved and, thanks to careful restoration work, remains visible in all its splendor today. Inside the church, visitors can admire a precious 15th-century wooden polyptych. The church stands on a magnificent open space, acting as a natural balcony that, with a 200-meter drop, offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Mount Penice, Mount Boglelio, and the Staffora stream. Within the municipal territory lies part of the vast Guardamonte Castelliere, a pre-Roman settlement discovered in 1951 on the ridge between Val Curone and Val Staffora. This significant urban structure has yielded numerous archaeological finds, including artifacts and household items. Photo: Alessandro Vecchi - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0  

From Montalto Pavese to Trebecco lake

A long route with continuous ups and downs that starts from Montalto Pavese, climbs to Belvedere, and then passes through Montù Berchielli, Pometo, Passo del Carmine, Ruino, and finally reaches Lago Trebecco in the province of Piacenza. SIGNAGE: 201 Montalto Pavese is located in the lower area of the Oltrepò Pavese Mountain Community, south of Pavia, on the valley of the Ghiaia stream. It is called the "queen of Oltrepò Pavese" for its dominant position on the first hills above Casteggio, its beautiful castle with Italian-style gardens, and its wine production. The Belvedere area, located on the ridge of a hill and exposed to strong winds, is a popular destination for tourists and enthusiasts of paragliding and model aircraft. Shortly after Belvedere, following the yellow bicycle sign leading to the unmistakable Big Bench of Montalto Pavese, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills. After passing the giant bench, from which the Montalto Pavese castle can be seen, you enter a wild area with no trees, where, with a bit of luck, you may encounter some roe deer. The route continues up and down hills and vineyards until reaching Passo del Carmine, located at around 600 meters above sea level in the municipality of Colli Verdi, an important crossroads, as it is at the start of several valleys. Passo del Carmine also represents another important boundary, between the mountainous Oltrepò and the wine-producing Oltrepò, with the first located south of the pass and the second to the north. From the pass, the route proceeds towards Ruino, which was part of the lands of the Monastery of San Colombano during the Lombard period, then descends directly into the Val Tidone, right in line with the Molato Dam that forms Lake Trebecco. The Molato Dam, built between 1921 and 1928, is located in that part of the province of Piacenza where the Val Tidone opens towards the Po Valley and acts as a barrier to the Tidone stream, creating the compensation reservoir known as Lake Trebecco, which has a usable volume of 8 million cubic meters of water.
