Vicomero between nature trails and history
Accommodation in Vicomero
The parish church of Vicomero is dedicated to the Purification of the Virgin Mary, Purificazione di Maria Vergine. If you would also like to explore religious and cultural connections during your trip to Italy, this dedication provides a clear starting point for learning about the area.

Nature trails along the Torrente Parma
The approximately 8 km-long trail of the Oasi Naturalistica “Cavaliere d’Italia” LIPU follows the Torrente Parma and leads from the Oratorio di San Rocco di Vicomero to Torrile. Its route connects a specific starting point in Vicomero with the destination of Torrile and makes the waterside landscape the defining feature of this trail. When planning this route, the approximate length, the start at the Oratorio di San Rocco di Vicomero and the destination of Torrile are key considerations. The watercourse forms the continuous line of the route.
Vicomero as a stage of Via 22
Via 22 offers a longer perspective. The route is 22 km long and runs along the Torrente Parma from Parma via the Reggia di Colorno to the Po. Vicomero is a stage of Via 22, with a route length of 5 km. For daily planning, the 22 km of the complete route from Parma to the Po and the 5 km of the Vicomero stage can be considered separately. The Oasi route ends in Torrile, while Via 22 continues to the Po. Both routes run along the Torrente Parma, but differ in length and destination.
Castle connection and villas in the surrounding area
The Reggia di Colorno is a castle in the vicinity of Vicomero. Villa Galantina, which is privately owned, is located in Vicomero itself. Travelers interested in culture can include the Reggia in the area around Vicomero and the villa in Vicomero itself separately in their travel plans.
Cornazzano: event and historic structure
The Fiera del Cornazzano takes place every year in the Cornazzano area of Vicomero and lasts for five days at the end of July. The Fiera del Cornazzano dates back to 1922. For travel planning, this means a five-day window at the end of July in the Cornazzano area of Vicomero.
Also in the Cornazzano area within Vicomero stands the Torrione del Castellazzo. It is approximately six centuries old and is owned by the Valeri family.
When choosing a hotel for your trip, you can assess Vicomero according to your preferred focus: a trail along the Torrente Parma, a stage of Via 22, cultural destinations or the date of the Fiera del Cornazzano. This keeps your choice of location aligned with your specific travel interests.
