The Via Marchesana is a route that promotes a whole territory, an area of Italy in which to explore history and discover great works of art.

The Marchesana Way with its quiet beauty stretches from the evocative landscape along the Po river to the depths of the valleys of the Parma-Piacenza Apennines, passes through Liguria and arrives in welcoming Tuscany.
