wandering through villages, parishes and rough lands – 1st part
(Parma Apennines (PR) – Emila Romagna) |
|
We are going to discover a stretch of the Via Romea (also called Via Francigena), maybe less known and popular of the Camino de Santiago, but certainly not less beautiful and fascinating.
We covered only a short length and we discovered parishes and old villages where the time seems to be suspended at the medieval pilgrimages.
And we also discovered the Apennines with their hard features.

We halved the way in two specials:
The first one from Fornovo di Taro to Bardone, the second one from Terenzo, with a diversion, to Corchia.
- Fornovo di Taro [ph. 2-11]
Church of Santa Maria Assunta, a Romanesque building dating back to 11th century, with 12th century sculptures and bas-relieves.
- Roncolongo [ph. 14-15]
Just before Sivizzano there are the remains of a Roman farm, discovered during the 80s.
- Sivizzano [ph. 16-20]
A rural hamlet with a splendid cloister.
- Bardone [ph. 21-28]
The parish (mid pf 11th century) is consecrated to Our Lady of the Assumption and certainly is one of the most evocative stops of the Via Francigena. Recent excavations unearthed remains dating back to 7th century and maybe earlier.
