Guidebooks Piacenza

The province of Piacenza gathers charming landscapes and fascinating sights. Tourists will have the possibility to take part in interesting naturalistic, food and wine, historical and artistic itineraries across Piacenza's city centre, as well as to explore the rich territory which extends outside the sixteenth-century city walls.

Green hills and crystal-clear streams and rivers provide the setting for enchanting medieval villages, such as Castell’Arquato, which stands just in the heart of an important geological area.

The province of Piacenza is also scattered with precious historical finds, as evidenced by the ancient city of Velleia, which has caught the attention of both experts and curious people for many centuries because of the precious Roman finds it cherishes, which were unearthed during extensive excavation works.
