St. Francis Hostel

Highlight • Rest Area

The hostel, located in the center of the village, is a historic place of welcome for pilgrims who went to holy places. The building that houses it today was initially the site of a convent of Friars Minor, founded by San Bernardino da Siena in 1424 - who came to Pellegrino during one of his long peregrinations - and dedicated by him to St. Francis. In 1514 the friars created an oratory dedicated to San Rocco near the convent. The convent was closed in 1805 by Napoleonic decree and partially destroyed; the oratory, on the other hand, remained linked to the local clergy and was completely destroyed after the Second World War. Over the centuries it then became the site of a hospital and a school until it became the current hostel. The renovation of the building, which took place in 1999 on the occasion of the Jubilee, brought to light traces of a pre-existing church, with frescoes of great value, such as the one dedicated to San Bonaventura. Currently the structure has 40 beds and is surrounded by a small garden and an amphitheater available to guests.

The Old Barracks

Highlight • Restaurant

La Vecchia Caserma was born in a building from the 1920s, which housed the local Carabinieri command until the 1970s, later becoming a private residence and then an abandoned building for about 15 years. The building has been recovered with careful work to remove the external and internal plaster and clean the wooden beams, bringing the local stones back into view and thus creating a rustic and welcoming environment. During the restoration, we tried as much as possible to reuse the original materials, modifying only some of the spaces to make it more suitable for the new use. The owner, Marzia, with an artistic past now transferred to the kitchen, was the aesthetic director of the intervention. Now the restaurant consists of a bar room on the ground floor and a first small room also on the ground floor accessible to the disabled, while the three main rooms are on the first floor. The staircase that leads to it is still the original one, worn in some places by the passage of years of the Arma's boots. The structure is located in Pellegrino Parmense (400m above sea level) in the center of the town, shortly after the main square coming from Salsomaggiore and Fidenza. Behind the structure, also visible from the road, is a large and welcoming courtyard that during the summer replaces the internal rooms, bringing relief to the heat of the plain.
