Discover San Bernardino

San Bernardino offers several ways to shape a stay around specific interests: local history, cycling routes and sporting events each provide a different focus. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether Villa Bellaria Tamba, a route connected with the town or an event date will shape your stay. When choosing when to travel, it is also worth distinguishing between routes and recurring events.

Villa Bellaria Tamba and local history

Villa Bellaria Tamba is an 18th-century country estate in San Bernardino. Its rooms have ceilings richly decorated with frescoes. The Oratorio di Villa Tamba is also a historical landmark: it was rebuilt in 1787. The origins of the parish of San Bernardino are traced back to 1475; parish activities resumed at the oratory from 1945 to 1947. The oratory’s construction history, the traced origins of the parish and its later activities at this site therefore represent distinct historical layers.

Routes and a cycle path connected with the town

The “Terra e acqua” route passes through San Bernardino. “Dalle rive del Santerno” extends as far as San Bernardino. These routes are connected with the town in different ways: San Bernardino lies along the first route as described, while the second route reaches the town. In addition, a 600-metre cycle path, designed for travel in both directions, was built on the south side of Provincial Road 17. It runs eastwards from Via Pollarola to house number 108 and was inaugurated on 28 October 2017. While the routes mention the town as part of their course or as a destination, this cycle path is more precisely defined by its road, starting point, direction and endpoint. If you plan to use this section, it is advisable to check its condition beforehand.

Sport and event dates

Three cycling races are held annually in San Bernardino. The “Val Santerno” dialect literature competition takes place every two years. The “Settembre sportivo” festival is also part of the local events calendar. The schedules therefore differ: the races are held annually, while the competition takes place every two years; the festival is another distinct event on the calendar. If you would like to plan your trip around a particular event, check the dates in advance. The dates of the races and competition, as well as the festival dates and programme, may change.

Sports facilities are another local feature. San Bernardino has a full-size, floodlit football pitch with modernised and expanded changing rooms. The town also has an equipped green space with a multi-purpose sports court. These facilities complement the information about cycling routes and sporting events with permanent venues in the town.
