a day between art and nature
(Soarza (PC) – Emilia Romagna)
Siamo tornati al minuscolo borgo di Soarza, frazione di Villanova sull’Arda, soprattutto per visitare la mostra allestita all’ultimo piano del palazzo Costa Picasso.
Finito di visitare l’interessante esposizione abbiamo traversato il paese sino a giungere al punto in cui il Po, in quei giorni, aveva esteso le sue acque ben oltre le sue rive.

Un po' di storia:
Probabilmente di origine romana di particolare importanza per il suo porto sul grande fiume e i suoi mulini che rappresentavano un fonte economica notevole di commercio.
Citata per la prima volta nel 990 tra le localitĂ  possedute dal monastero di San Silvestro di Nonantola.
Nel 1600 il feudo di Soarza ed altre localitĂ  vicine sono possedute dalla famiglia genovese Costa.
La legge del 26.09.1798, divisione in distretti e circondari dei dipartimenti dell'Olona, Alto Po, Serio e Mincio, determinava che Soarza fosse un comune del distretto di Pieve d’Olmi sino al decreto del 8.6.1805 in cui ne viene esclusa.
Il feudo di Soarza si rafforza e sviluppa negli anni la maggior parte delle cascine e poderi vengono realizzati ed ammodernati tra l'800 e il '900 ad opera dei nuovi proprietari genovesi Picasso Ratto.
Di particolare interesse è che le aree edificate sono rimaste praticamente invariate dall'Ottocento.

a day between art and nature
(Soarza (PC) – Emilia Romagna)

We returned to the tiny village of Soarza, a hamlet of Villanova sull'Arda, primarily to visit the exhibition set up on the top floor of the Costa Picasso building.
After visiting the interesting exhibition, we crossed the town until we reached the point where the Po, in those days, had extended its waters well beyond its banks.

A bit of history:
Probably of Roman origin, of particular importance for its port on the great river and its mills which represented a notable economic source of trade.
First mentioned in 990 among the localities owned by the monastery of San Silvestro di Nonantola.
In 1600 the fiefdom of Soarza and other nearby locations were owned by the Genoese Costa family.
The law of 09.26.1798, division into districts and districts of the departments of Olona, ​​Alto Po, Serio and Mincio, determined that Soarza was a municipality of the district of Pieve d'Olmi until the decree of 06.8.1805 in which it was excluded.
The fiefdom of Soarza strengthened and developed over the years; most of the farmhouses and estates were built and modernized between the 19th and 20th centuries by the new Genoese owners, Picasso Ratto.
Of particular interest is that the built-up areas have remained virtually unchanged since the 19th century.
