San Martino Siccomario between Theatre and the Ticino Landscape

San Martino Siccomario between the Ticino Landscape and Local History

San Martino Siccomario combines a connection with nature and local history: the Anello del Siccomario circular route passes through the town, while theatres, churches and palaces offer different ways to explore the surrounding area. This allows you to structure your stay according to your interests – with a landscape route along the Ticino, theatre events in the afternoon and cultural and historical sites dating back to the 13th and 17th centuries.

The Anello del Siccomario and the Ticino

The Anello del Siccomario circular route runs along the Argine Maestro on the right bank of the Ticino. This precise route makes the trail an illustrative theme for anyone who wants to combine riverside landscapes and activity when choosing their destination. The embankment section gives your daily planning a clear geographical connection to the right bank of the Ticino and to the town. This means that the town can be viewed in a travel plan from both a landscape and a cultural perspective.

Theatre for Different Generations

The Teatro Marcello Mastroianni in San Martino Siccomario represents a distinct cultural strand. The Teatro Marcello Mastroianni in San Martino Siccomario has been run by In Scena Veritas since 2013. Since 2005, In Scena Veritas has organised the Argini theatre series at the Teatro Marcello Mastroianni. Piccoli Argini is also of interest to families and younger visitors: the format offers afternoon theatre performances for children and young people. This means that the town's attractions include not only buildings but also specific stage productions.

Churches with Long Building Histories

The church and sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie were built to fulfil the will set out in the testament of the noblewoman Clara Marozzi dated 19 September 1626. Another important religious building is the parish church of San Martino Vescovo. It preserves a Romanesque apse from the 13th century and was rebuilt in 1705 in its present three-nave form. The bell tower also has its own construction history: after the flood of 1838, it was demolished and rebuilt in its present form in 1896.
