Ciao a tutti,
questo è un viaggio attraverso l'Italia. Posterò una foto al giorno con una brevissima descrizione. Spero vi piaccia!
Bettola è un piccolo borgo in provincia di Piacenza, nella regione settentrionale italiana dell'Emilia Romagna. Il nome risale al XV secolo e significa taverna, poiché il nucleo originario del paese doveva essere un luogo di ristoro e di riposo, una taverna a tutti gli effetti.
La città fu fondata ai tempi di Napoleone, quando i villaggi di San Bernardino e San Giovanni, a destra e a sinistra del fiume Nure, si fusero. La sua storia risale a un evento di carattere religioso, e cioè l'apparizione della Vergine Maria (detta della "Quercia") a una pastorella del luogo, verso la fine del 1300.
La storia del villaggio è caratterizzata dai continui scontri tra famiglie Nicelli e Camia.
Nel tentativo di risolvere i problemi di instabilità provocati da questi conflitti e di limitare l'autorità della nobiltà locale, Papa Paolo III Farnese ordinò la costruzione di una residenza fortificata che ospitava i rappresentanti papali fino alla fine del XVIII secolo.
Con la riorganizzazione amministrativa che seguì la conquista napoleonica, il comune di Bettola fu istituito nel 1805.
È uno dei più grandi in Italia per superficie.
Il villaggio di Bettola è ora diviso in due villaggi, collegati dal ponte sul Nure: San Bernardino e San Giovanni sulla riva destra e sinistra.
In San Bernardino si trova la bella pieve risalente al 1600; in San Giovanni, oltre all'omonima chiesa del 1885, chiamata anche Santuario della Madonna della Quercia, si trova la grande piazza centrale al centro della quale risiede il monumento a Cristoforo Colombo, eretto nel 1892 per commemorare il grande navigatore originario di Pradello, villaggio della montagna bettolese con piccolo museo colombiano allestito nella casa-torre appartenuta alla famiglia di Cristoforo Colombo.
Interessanti percorsi che portano al Passo del Cerro e poi al Monte Osero a ben 1300 metri, raggiungendo i paesi di Leggio e Calenzano con vista mozzafiato sulla piana piacentina.
Altri sono il Passo del Pia, località di raduno per cacciatori in agosto; Prato Barbieri a 925 metri e proseguendo in una zona boschiva di querce e faggi, Gropparello dove si trova il bellissimo Castello Rossoreggio un tempo di proprietà di Nicelli, Veleia Romana e Morfasso, che ospita la Torre Farnese trasformata attualmente in un'affascinante villa.
Da vedere: il centro storico, il Santuario della Madonna della Quercia, la pieve di San Bernardino, il monumento a Cristoforo Colombo, la Torre Farnese, il Castello Rossoreggio.
Hello everyone,
I began a Photo Journey through Italy. I will post one photo every day with a little note of explanation. I hope you like it!
Bettola is a small town in the province of Piacenza, in the Northern Italian region of Emilia Romagna. The name dates back to the fifteenth century and means tavern, since the original core of the country had to be a place of refreshment and rest, a tavern in fact.
The town was founded in Napoleon's times, when San Bernardino and San Giovanni's villages, on the right and on the left of Nure River, were united. Its history dates back resulting from an event of a religious nature, and that is the apparition of the Virgin Mary (called "Oak") to a shepherdess of the place, towards the end of 1300.
The village history is characterized by the continuous fights between the Nicelli and Camia families.
In an attempt to resolve the problems of instability provoked by these conflicts and to limit the authority of the local nobility, Pope Paul III Farnese ordered the construction of a fortified residence that housed Papal representatives until the end of the 18th century.
With the administrative reorganisation that followed the Napoleonic conquest, the municipality of Bettola was established in 1805. It is one of the largest in Italy in terms of area.
The village of Bettola is now divided into two villages, connected by the bridge over the Nure: San Bernardino and San Giovanni on the right bank to the left.
In San Bernardino is the beautiful parish church of 1600; in San Giovanni, in addition to the homonymous church of 1885, also known as the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Quercia, is the vast central square in the center with the Christopher Columbus monument, erected in 1892 to commemorate the great navigator original Pradello, mountain village bettolese with Colombian small museum housed in the tower-house belonged to the family Colombo.
Interesting routes leading to Passo del Cerro and then towards Mount Osero 1300 meters, reaching the villages Leggio and Calenzano with breathtaking view of the plain of Piacenza.
Others are the Passo del Pia, places of gathering for hunters in August; Prato Barbieri to 925 meters, and continuing in a wooded area of oak and beech forests, Gropparello where there is the beautiful Castle Rossoreggio once owned by Nicelli, Veleia Romana and Morfasso, which houses the Farnese Tower currently transformed into a charming villa.
Thing to see: the Historical center, the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Quercia, the parish Church of San Bernardino, the Christopher Columbus monument, the Farnese Tower, the Castle Rossoreggio.

La foto di Cristoforo Colombo è veramente suggestiva: il volto scolpito con dietro queste nuvole ad opporsi ad un cielo celeste.
Congratulazioni Carlo!
