Bilocale

The area sits in the first Emilia Apennine hills, with wooded ridges and cultivated valleys between the Arda and Stirone systems. The Stirone and Piacenziano Regional Park is in this area, following the Stirone valley and its fossil-bearing badlands. Castell’Arquato, the nearest historic small town of note, has a substantial medieval centre on a ridge and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. Fiorenzuola d’Arda is the nearest larger town, with rail services and everyday shopping and services. The area is known for mixed hill farming and for the geological outcrops and fossils of the Stirone valley.
