Sartirana Castle

Highlight • Castle

The history of the Castle can be summarized as follows: built towards the end of the 1300s by order of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, it was strengthened towards the end of the 1400s by the Sforza family who, in the meantime, had conquered power. The Sforza family added other parts to the main body, which remained so until the sixteenth century, a time when the Castle, by the Gattinara family, was transformed into a comfortable residence, which has not undergone substantial changes to this day. Typical quadrilateral layout, with moat, internal courtyard and four corner towers. The castle is the main attraction of the village and currently houses the "Lomellina Study and Documentation Center", the "Sartirana Arte Foundation", with the museums of collections of silver, jewels, objects of peasant culture, art graphics. Both the Study Center and the Foundation organize numerous exhibitions and cultural events at an international level. In 1462-1463 under the Sforza, the Castle underwent military transformations of expansion and consolidation of the round tower, which was dealt with by the famous architect Bartolomeo Fioravanti, the same that Ivan II, Tsar of Russia, called to his court to the construction of the Kremlin defenses. Sartirana and its castle then passed to the Spaniards with Mercurino Arborio (cardinal) until his death in 1530. The castle belonged to the Arborio dynasty until 1934, and then to the Duke of Aosta Amedeo di Savoia.

Valenza Bridge over the Po

Highlight • Bridge

It originates in Piedmont, on Monviso, at Pian del Re; it directly flows through a regional capital (Turin) and two provincial capitals (Piacenza and Cremona), laps two other provincial capitals (Pavia and Ferrara) and marks for long stretches the border between Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, as well as between Emilia-Romagna and Veneto, before flowing into the Adriatic Sea in a vast delta with six branches.

View of the Coperto Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rebuilt in the mid-fourteenth century to replace the old Roman bridge (whose pillars can still be seen), it connects the historic center of the city with the picturesque medieval village beyond the Ticino, a traditional town of washerwomen, gravel diggers and fishermen. Its feature, which makes it the evocative symbol of Pavia, is its roofing, commissioned by Galeazzo II Visconti in the aftermath of the conquest of the city, and the presence of an eighteenth-century chapel, dedicated to St. John of Nepomuk. Bombed in World War II, the bridge was rebuilt in the early 1950s.

Ponte Coperto (the Covered Bridge) in Pavia

Highlight • Bridge

The Covered Bridge connects the historic center of Pavia to Borgo Ticino. The first bridge at this point was built by order of Emperor Augustus and was replaced in the 14th century by a covered bridge. Due to the damage suffered by the Allied bombings during the Second World War, one of the arches of the fourteenth-century bridge collapsed and it was decided to demolish the entire structure. The new bridge was inaugurated in 1951; on the entrance portal on the city side, in memory of past events, a plaque was placed reading: "On the ancient passage of the cerulean Ticino, in the image of the ancient Covered Bridge, demolished by the fury of war, the Italian Republic rebuilt it".
