Where it is

A small hill town overlooking the valley below from the southern slopes of Mount Ripa along the Strada del Prosciutto e dei Vini e dei Colli (The Ham and Wine route of the Hills).

Why visit it

Neviano degli Arduini is a departure point to visit the 11th C parish church of Santa Maria di Sasso and the Mount Fuso Park wildlife area.

Neviano is in the area of production of the Prosciutto di Parma (Parma Ham) and then there are many factories in the area to visit by prebooking and open in Septmber during the Festival del Prosciutto di Parma.

In the surroundings

In the nearby village called Sasso, on the top of a hill in the middle of the forest, there is the beautiful 10th century Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta.

About 3 km from Neviano is Bazzano, a pretty village where the Pieve di Sant’Ambrogio is a splendid example of a Romanesque parish church. It is known as “The village of the nativity scenes” because during the Christmas period the houses display in their courtyards an always illuminated nativity scene, leading visitors in an exciting walk even in the evening.

And for an immersion in nature, the wildlife Oasis of Monte Fuso welcomes everyone for a nice walk, for a picnic or for a tasty stop at the bar restaurant.
