The Barboj Park owes its name to the rumbling sounds that accompany the emission of methane gases, salt water, hydrocarbons, methane, carbon dioxide, and mud from the subsurface through numerous small volcanoes of varying shapes and sizes, some up to 1 m high. These geological features, considered the most important in western Emilia, also extend to the nearby town of Torre di Traversetolo, to which the area is connected by several marked trails. The salse are characterized by the eruption of muddy salt water from spring pools, used for medicinal purposes until the 19th century, which flows into the small Barboj stream, a tributary of the Termina stream.

Locality of San Michele Tiorre Language Follow Edit The Church of San Michele is a Catholic place of worship with Baroque architecture, located at Piazza Pontirol Battisti 7 in San Michele Tiorre, a hamlet of Felino, in the province and diocese of Parma. It is the seat of a parish within the pastoral area of the Pedemontana. HISTORY: The original chapel was built before the 11th century and dedicated, together with the entire Cinghio Valley, to the Archangel Michael by the Benedictines of the Abbey of San Benedetto in Polirone, to whom it was donated by Pope Paschal II in 1105 and confirmed by the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV of Franconia the following year. The friars built a cloister next to the place of worship, which they entrusted to a group of monks led by a prior. The existence of the chapel is also attested by a document from 1230, when the "Ecclesia di Sancti Michaelis de Toliorio" depended on the parish church of San Martino di Arola;[3] the Prior Sancti Michaelis de Toiorio was also mentioned in the Ratio Decimarum of 1299. Between 1699 and 1700, the ancient building was almost completely rebuilt in Baroque style at the initiative of Abbot Andrea Rainieri; at the time, the church was dependent on the abbey of Santa Maria della Neve di Torrechiara. The Benedictines maintained control of the place of worship until the suppression of religious orders sanctioned by Napoleon at the beginning of the 19th century. On July 15, 1971, the church was severely damaged by a strong earthquake, which caused it to be closed for worship. The building was subsequently consolidated and renovated both externally and internally, with the side altars and Baroque choir lofts being removed. The work was completed in late 1974, and the church was solemnly inaugurated by the Bishop of Parma, Amilcare Pasini. On December 23, 2008, the church was again damaged by earthquakes; restoration work, begun the following year, was completed in 2014.

Built between 1612 and 1619 on the site of a pre-existing chapel on the side of the sixteenth-century square in the lower village, the oratory, restored in 1786, was partially rebuilt in neo-Romanesque style after 1892, following the collapse of part of the nave and the façade. The small place of worship features two corner pilasters on the main façade and the round-arched cornice of the entrance portal decorated with horizontal stripes.[32][33] SOURCE: https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrechiara
