Tavernerio between the Cosia Valley, culture and regional routes

The Cosia Valley between Tavernerio and Camnago features a deep gorge with deep potholes and varied forms of erosion in the rock. For those interested in geology, this section between Tavernerio and Camnago represents a distinct landscape reference point within an individual trip to Italy. The gorge, potholes and erosional forms make the rocky landscape a visible subject, while the cultural and wine-related themes appeal to other interests.

Landscape between valleys, mountains and peaks

The PLIS Valle del Torrente Cosia includes 63.66 hectares within the municipality of Tavernerio. Punta Caldera and Cornizzolo, both mountains, are located in the area around Tavernerio. Monte Bisbino and Cima del Costone are peaks in the same area. This range is helpful when planning an individual trip: you can distinguish between landscape highlights in the valley, on the mountain and at the peak, and organize your days according to your own travel pace. The 63.66 hectares of the PLIS are assigned to the municipal territory; the four mountains and peaks are located in the area around Tavernerio.

San Fereolo and cultural traces

San Fereolo is located above the Torrente Tisone. San Fereolo was built at the beginning of the 17th century, incorporating an original shrine. The Festa di San Fereolo takes place every year on the Sunday after Pentecost. The parish church of Solzago contains an altarpiece painted in 1884 by Lodovico Pogliaghi. For those interested in culture, this brings together a specific geographical setting, a building history, an annually recurring festival date and a dated work of art. The festival date follows the church year and therefore does not fall on the same calendar date every year. The 1884 altarpiece, by contrast, provides a fixed historical time reference. This allows you to combine historical interests with an event during the course of the year or with individual works of art.

Wine tradition and a route for pedestrians and cyclists

The historic local grape variety Pincianéll was used to produce a dry red wine. The Via del Tram Solzago-Camnago is a route fully suitable for pedestrians and cyclists, running between Solzago and Camnago. If you would like to include physical activity in your trip, this connection offers a distinct focus alongside nature, culture and wine tradition. Solzago and Camnago mark the two locations associated with the Via del Tram. Those planning to travel along the route on foot or by bicycle can use these two locations and its stated full suitability as points of reference.

Monuments and museums in the surrounding region

In the immediate vicinity of Tavernerio are the Camerlata Fountain and the Monument of Alessandro Volta; both are monuments. Further afield in the surrounding region are the Museo Etnografico Dell'Alta Brianza and La Testimone Velata Di Mariani Isarella; both are museums. The cultural radius thus extends from monuments in the immediate vicinity to museums in the wider surrounding region. This gives you various ways to place Tavernerio within your trip to Italy, depending on your interest in landscapes, local history, art or regional culture.
