Starting from Scipione Ponte, we will enter the Stirone and Piacenziano Park through a path that passes in front of a Mistadello (small votive chapel), we will tell the legend of the old woman and her abandoned house; We will climb a hill, cross a clearing then a grove to reach Salsominore and visit the church; We will resume the path in the woods and the driveway to climb the opposite hill, where we will observe a wide panorama; we will climb to Scipione Castello and return to the park through a forest.

There will be insights on the Flora: curiosities related to seasonal flowers and shrubs will be told, and on the Fauna: we will look for traces of the most common animals on the ground and in the sky, even listening to the singing of birds. We will talk about the “mistadelli” and their history, the chestnut and fortifications in the Middle Ages.
