Martignacco: Villas, Parkland and Itinerario 19
Accommodation in Martignacco
Martignacco combines historic architecture, natural features and a cycling route. The main villa of Villa Poggio Stringher, Villa Di Prampero and the parish church of Martignacco offer different ways to explore the history of the area. Cultural and natural themes thus shape the diversity of the town.
Historic buildings in Martignacco
The main villa of Villa Poggio Stringher dates back to the 16th century and was owned by the Deciani family. It is surrounded by a park covering approximately eight hectares, home to numerous tree species, including rows of lime trees, red oaks, chestnut trees and plane trees, as well as conifers. The park extends as far as the riverbed of the T. Lavia and the summit of the “delle volpi” hill. This combination of architecture, trees and landscape gives Villa Poggio Stringher a distinctive character. The park thus connects the villa with specific natural features.
Villa Di Prampero reflects another chapter in the history of the area. The main building was remodelled into a neo-Gothic manor house in 1883 on the initiative of Count Ottaviano di Prampero. In 1697, the Counts Milliana had the Oratorio della Madonna di Loreto built at the villa. The two construction phases took place at the same villa and date from different years.
Martignacco’s religious architecture includes the parish church, which is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a neo-Gothic building; construction began in 1909. Alongside the villas, the townscape therefore also features a separate neo-Gothic religious building.
Biotope and landscape
In Martignacco, parts of the Prati della Piana di Bertrando are included as a biotope. This natural feature broadens the townscape beyond individual historic buildings: the Prati della Piana di Bertrando form an additional landscape area in Martignacco.
Itinerario 19 for your cycling plans
Itinerario 19 adds a dynamic perspective to travel planning. The route passes through Ceresetto and Martignacco and reaches a cycle path after Piazza Vittorio Veneto. The route follows the cycle path for 750 metres before turning onto an unpaved road. For cycling plans, this change in surface is a distinct section of the route. Anyone dividing the route into stages can plan the cycle path and the subsequent unpaved road separately.
Palaces and museum in the surrounding area
The surrounding area of Martignacco is also home to Palazzo Florio and Palazzo Antonini, both palaces. The Soprintendenza Per I Beni Architettonici Archeologici Artistici E Stor museum is also located nearby. The cultural spectrum therefore ranges from villas and religious buildings to palaces and a museum, while Itinerario 19 adds another way to discover the area.
