Sala Baganza between Rocca, Wine and Landscape

Rocca Sanvitale, Library and Music

Access to the Biblioteca Comunale V. Preti is possible without prior registration. Registration with the libraries of Parma and the province is only required if documents are to be borrowed.

The exhibition at the Museo del Vino is also clearly structured: it comprises six different sections. The A Tu per Tu concert series provides a musical highlight. For twenty years, it has presented high-quality concerts in the Oratorio dell'Assunta and, in summer, in the courtyard of Rocca Sanvitale in Sala Baganza.

Nature and Paths on the Edge of Town

At the edge of Sala Baganza's built-up area lies the protected regional park area of Parco regionale dei Boschi di Carrega. Parco Boschi di Carrega has short, easily walkable paths. These short paths give a manageable structure to a stay in Parco Boschi di Carrega. For planning the day, the short paths in Parco Boschi di Carrega and the Ciclovia lungo il Baganza remain two separate options.

For cycling excursions, the Ciclovia lungo il Baganza takes center stage. It stretches from the center of Sala Baganza beyond San Vitale Baganza and follows a former forest track along the stream. The track's former use is as much a part of the route's character as its location by the water. On cycling excursions, the town center, San Vitale Baganza, the former forest track and the stream mark the key reference points of the specific route.

San Biagio and the Festival della Malvasia

The Pieve di Talignano, dedicated to San Biagio, stands on a hill surrounded by vegetation. In Talignano, the Chiesa di San Biagio was also connected to a hospice for pilgrims traveling along the Via Francigena.

A recurring date in the annual calendar is the Festival della Malvasia, held every year in May in Sala Baganza. The festival includes mobile tastings with the glass worn around the neck, cooking shows, aperitifs, performances, exhibitions and guided masterclasses. In this way, wine, cuisine and events come together in a format that makes the town tangible beyond its individual sights. For wine enthusiasts, this May event in Sala Baganza is therefore already a specific reason to include it in their personal travel plans.
