Vicomero: Routes and Local History

When planning a trip to Vicomero, routes and local history are useful topics to consider separately. The approximately 8 km-long Oasi Naturalistica “Cavaliere d’Italia” LIPU route follows the Torrente Parma; the 22 km-long Via 22 is a separate route from Parma to the Po. There is also the Fiera del Cornazzano in the Cornazzano area and the town’s parish church. If you are looking for a hotel in Vicomero, these different points of interest provide a factual starting point for deciding which focus suits your stay.

The Oasi Naturalistica Route

The approximately 8 km-long Oasi Naturalistica “Cavaliere d’Italia” LIPU route follows the Torrente Parma and leads from the Oratorio di San Rocco di Vicomero to Torrile. This identifies the route, the watercourse it follows, and both endpoints. When choosing a route, it is especially helpful to distinguish it from Via 22: the Oasi route is a separate, shorter route, not the entire Via 22. At approximately 8 km, it is considerably shorter than Via 22, which is 22 km long. Those interested in nature routes will find a specific connection to Vicomero here, along the course of the Parma.

Vicomero on Via 22

Via 22 runs along the Torrente Parma from Parma, via the Reggia di Colorno, to the Po. Vicomero is a stage of Via 22; the route overview lists Vicomero as 5 km.

Fiera del Cornazzano and Local History

The Fiera del Cornazzano takes place every year for five days at the end of July in the Cornazzano area of Vicomero. It dates back to 1922. This provides a specific time frame to consider when planning your trip. If you would like to plan your trip around a future edition, check that edition’s dates separately.

Also in the Cornazzano area of Vicomero is the Torrione del Castellazzo. It is described as being approximately six centuries old. Together with the fair, it points to the local history of the area, though in different ways: the event is characterized by its recurring time of year and historical origins, while the Torrione is characterized by its location and approximate age. Vicomero’s parish church is dedicated to the Purification of the Virgin Mary; its Italian name is Purificazione di Maria Vergine.

Routes and Culture as Focal Points

The information can help you choose a travel theme in different ways. For the routes, you can compare their lengths and courses: the approximately 8 km-long route leads from Vicomero to Torrile, while Via 22 runs via Parma and the Reggia di Colorno to the Po. The 5 km listed for Vicomero is part of the stage overview and is not the total length of Via 22. For a cultural focus, the fair, held at the end of July, and the historical points of interest in the Cornazzano area offer different connections. This lets you plan your trip around specific routes, places, and time frames.
