Where the ball takes me.

Palazzolo sull'Oglio. - The game starts in the public park and is a natural ball game that develops between two brothers. As in a story by Rodari, the carefree youthfulness takes the two protagonists on a different journey, inside the art of their city. Their unawareness shifts among the architectural beauties allowing us to explore them. The dribble flies to Villa Lanfranchi, from the early 1900s, in the park and in the liberty style rooms with elegant finishes.

Playing under the pergola of the park of the three valleys, you go up the internal stairs of the Torre del Popolo, 91 m high, up to the bell terrace. Running from bounce to bounce, the ball is recovered in the Teatro Sociale, in Piazza Tamanza. Built in 1870, it has a scenic background painted with the main buildings of the city. Again outdoors you cross the square of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, with the neoclassical façade designed by Donegani in 1848. Crossing the halls of the municipal library you can play in Piazza Roma up to the kayaking center by the river. Between the arcades of the old parish church, from the 15th century, and the alleys of the ancient city, or village of walls, we arrive at the Rocca Magna. Built along the river between the 10th and 12th centuries, it has four towers and mighty walls. In the courtyard we rest, overcome by the impregnable silence that still defends his castle.
