You are in the heart of Franciacorta, a long of bubbles and art. Depart from Capriolo: enter the Parish Church to admire the altarpiece by Romanino, and then go toward Adro, where the ancient Dandolo Palace houses the Town Hall.

 

The road continues through the endless vineyards of Franciacorta, distributed in orderly rows. Passing in the country hamlets, come to the Torbiere del Sebino: nature reserve, which was the place where the peat was extracted, natural fuel. A protected oasis where you can do bird watching, among reeds and ponds.
Go up in just the right amount of time to reach Provaglio and visit the ancient monastery of San Pietro in Lamosa. It was built around 1080: it is the only foundation of the Sebino still recognisable as Cluniancense.
As the end of the itinerary is nearing: in Passirano, stop at the Villa Fassati Barba, an eighteenth-century mansion with a large park surrounding it. Alongside you cannot miss the medieval castle standing on the hill with its high and mighty walls and the Ghibelline battlements.
