Costa Santʼ Abramo – Churches, History and Cycling

Costa Santʼ Abramo appeals to travelers who want to combine Italian history, ecclesiastical art, cycling culture and regional cuisine. The focus is on Boffalora and the churches of Costa Santʼ Abramo: their history dates back to the Middle Ages, while a fresco by Walter Madoi and the Ciclovia della Strada Regina offer concrete points of interest for cultural and active pursuits. Local events and typical dishes from Cremona round out this picture.

Church History in Boffalora

Boffalora has been documented since 1167 in connection with the holdings of Cardinal Archpriest Tedaldo de Sommo. The Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Boffalora was the original parish church of Costa Santʼ Abramo for centuries and still existed in the 18th century. Historical traces here therefore extend across several centuries, without requiring you to limit yourself to a single building.

Costa Santʼ Abramo itself is also associated with ecclesiastical evidence. In 1601, the Church of San Prudenzio belonged to the parish territory of Costa Santʼ Abramo. A Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament was also active there in 1601. This gives visitors interested in cultural history a more precise view of religious structures and local history.

Manor House, Oratory and Fresco

The Boffalora manor house in the area of Costa Santʼ Abramo included an oratory dedicated to the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A rural farmstead with a western portico, stables and haylofts has also been preserved in Boffalora. The church of Costa Santʼ Abramo features a fresco by Walter Madoi in the apse.

Cycling and Events

For cycling enthusiasts, the Ciclovia della Strada Regina passes near the church at kilometer 7.4 in Costa Santʼ Abramo. The route is therefore a concrete part of the local cycling connections. Youth cycling events are another feature: the regional youth road cycling event “11° GRAN PREMIO OMA - 11° MEMORIAL ROBERTO CAV. MARTINELLI” took place in Costa Santʼ Abramo on May 31, 2026. In addition, a youth cycling circuit included a stage of the Memorial Lupi in Costa Santʼ Abramo.

The Parco della Pace in Costa Santʼ Abramo has an arena. An evening event commemorating Ugo Tognazzi, supported by the Unione Terra di Cascine and Astrolabio, took place there.
