Bilocale a Vigolzone,

The Trebbia River runs through Rivergaro and is the principal landscape feature within 15 km. The northern Apennine foothills (Piacenzan/Ligurian Apennines) rise a few kilometres to the south of the town. The surrounding hills include vineyards and agricultural land that form part of the Colli Piacentini wine area. Piacenza, the provincial capital (around 100,000 inhabitants), lies within roughly 15 km and provides a mainline railway station on the Milan–Bologna axis and wider regional services. Local roads follow the Trebbia valley south into smaller hill towns and higher Apennine terrain.
