Viale (AT)

Highlight • Settlement

Tiny town on top of a hill. I got there from Montafia and the road includes short stretches with slopes that are starting to get steeper. A track that I enjoyed a lot and that I will certainly repeat. Vehicle traffic in these parts is scarce.

Parish Church of Saint Andrew, Castelnuovo Don Bosco

Highlight • Religious Site

Parish church of Castelnuovo Don Bosco, is a seventeenth-century baroque building, with a truly spectacular polychrome marble interior. Getting there is a feat, but the church repays the effort. Historical note: in this church Don Bosco was baptized and celebrated his first mass.

Piazza Don Bosco and San Rocco Chapel, Castelnuovo Don Bosco

Highlight • Settlement

The central square of the town presents various points of interest. A beautiful neoclassical chapel dedicated to San Rocco; several buildings that surround it; and above all, the statue of Don Bosco, which dominates the square. Continuing along quite steep streets you reach the upper part of the town, where you are rewarded for your efforts by other points of interest.

Chiesa di Montafia

Highlight • Religious Site

Very simple church, of general neoclassical style. The small square in front recalls an episode from the life of Don Bosco - when, as a boy, he won the greasy pole climbing competition right in Montafia, taking away the best prizes. A bust of Don Bosco, a reproduction of the greasy pole, and an explanatory poster reconstruct the episode.

Church of San Rocco in Montafia (AT)

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful church that is close to the SP2 at the exit, or entrance, depending on the direction, of the town. The town is divided into "districts" which take the name of Saints (Dionysius, Mark, Rocco) who compete in the annual Donkey Palio.

San Secondo Church, Cortazzone

Highlight • Religious Site

The Romanesque Church of San Secondo is located about one km away. from Cortazzone.
Located on a green hill, it is worth a stop, I have passed it several times and I am always happy to stop, I found it open only once and visited the interior, the naves and capitals are of interest.
Outside on the lawn there are benches and a fountain for water supply.
