In the heart of Cortemaggiore, the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie is one of the symbolic buildings of the Renaissance village founded in the 15th century by the Pallavicino family. Its monumental structure and location in the main square demonstrate the historical importance of what was once one of the most important centers of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza. A brief stop allows you to discover the orderly urban layout and the intimate atmosphere of the town.

This oversized bench was the first Big Bench installed along the Po River, inaugurated in 2021 within the Po and Morbasco Park. Painted in red and gray, it harks back to Cremona tradition. Approximately two meters high and four meters wide, it invites you to stop for a unique break, take a photo, or simply observe the great river from a different perspective. A rubber mat at the base makes the space safe and playful for both adults and children. Not far from the bench is a fresh water fountain for refilling water bottles during your break.
