From Garlasco, we walk through the Padana to the hilltop town of Pavia, a beautiful university town, home to numerous artistic, cultural and historical treasures.

From there we follow the Po Valley through farmland and a series of small towns until we reach the friendly city of Piacenza, with its numerous historic and interesting sights including the beautiful Piazza Cavalli. From Piacenza, we go to the ancient town of Fiorenzuola d’Arda and onto Fidenza which grew rapidly under the Fascist period before being badly damaged by Allied bombing during the Second World War.

At Fidenza we complete our time on the Via Francigena, to head off on the Via Emilia to Ancona.
