Boffalora d'Adda: Pe.Dal.Adda and Rural Sacred Buildings

In Boffalora d'Adda, devotion to the Virgin Mary has deep roots; for centuries, the community has entrusted her with a role as protector and spiritual guide.

Pe.Dal.Adda for Walking and Cycling

Pe.Dal.Adda is a trail approximately 25 kilometres long that connects Rivolta d'Adda with Boffalora d'Adda and runs parallel to the Adda River. When undertaking the full route, the available time should therefore account not only for the distance but also for planned breaks.

The trail is flat and has a firmly compacted dirt surface. Pe.Dal.Adda is suitable for walking and cycling. At the same time, the nature of the trail is crucial to your personal planning: Pe.Dal.Adda is a nature trail, not a cycle path, as it follows existing unpaved paths. The nature of the trail therefore remains a separate planning factor for both walking and cycling tours.

Churches, Art and Rural Architectural Heritage

Cascina Cremosazza is a rural building complex with a courtyard, a manor house and agricultural outbuildings. The site therefore does not represent a single building, but rather a rural complex comprising several different buildings.

The Chiesa Parrocchiale is dedicated to the Natività della Beata Vergine; it was built and rebuilt in the 16th century. In chronological terms, the Chiesa Parrocchiale predates the Oratorio di San Biagio, which dates from the 18th century.

The Chiesa Parrocchiale contains an oil painting by Scipione Piazza. It depicts the enthroned Madonna with Saints Helena, Monica, Macarius and Cristinziano. Scipione Piazza's work adds a specific motif featuring four saints to the church's sacred history.

Oratorio di San Biagio and Museum Nearby

The Oratorio di San Biagio is a rural oratory; it was restored in the early 1980s. The Museo Della Stampa E Stampa D'Arte A Lodi is also located near Boffalora d'Adda.

Annual Date and Orientation on Site

The patronal celebration of Boffalora d'Adda takes place every year on the first Sunday in September. The date is therefore tied to a day of the week, not to a fixed date in September.

In the Mezzanino area, Boffalora d'Adda is connected to a rest area and a partner car park of Parco Adda Sud.
