Alfonsina Strada Mural

Highlight • Monument

Right at the entrance to the cycle path along the Po from Boretto there is this mural dedicated to Alfonsina Morini Strada, the first and only woman to compete in the men's Giro d'Italia way back in 1924. The mural is the work of the FX Collective, created as part of a project to encourage the use of bicycles.

Chiesa di Coenzo

Highlight • Religious Site

It is first mentioned in 1140 and then in other documents in the following centuries as dependent on the Parish of Sorbolo. In a document from 1493, the church appears instead as dependent on the Abbess of Sant'Alessandro di Parma. By the 18th century, the old church was in a state of disrepair, and construction of the new building began (1793). The apse of the medieval church still stands in the current sacristy.

Statue of Peppone and Don Camillo

Highlight • Monument

Apparently, the two characters, known far beyond Italy's borders and created by the writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968), are having a brief conversation. After one of their – once again public and heated – verbal confrontations, the author of the still popular short stories has the priest address his eternal adversary with these beautiful words:
"God be with you and enlighten you, Comrade Mayor, so that one day, after our earthly journey has ended, we may find each other side by side at the beginning of that road that leads to eternity."
