The view from Brugnello | Photo @monika_fotografie
Let’s start from the north of the region, from the province of Piacenza. It’s here that, nestled on a spur at a height of 464 m. sheer over the river Trebbia, the little medieval village of Brugnello raises.
Very few inhabitants (only 11 if you exclude the owners with more houses), some stone houses, lanes decorated with care and precision, a church and a hotel/restaurant for tourists. These things would already be enough to realize that this is an enchanted place, out of time and space.
But all this is further enhanced by an amazing landscape, and, let me tell you, the best view is from the terrace of the church. With an alternation of glimpses and extraordinary gorges, the river Trebbia shapes an astonishing landscape, a show to anyone who looks at the horizon.
