Frescoes that have been estored and returned to Bagnaia by the Municipality of Viterbo, the Carivit Foundation, Intesa Sanpaolo SpA and the Amici di Bagnaia Association, are now on display.  “Great collaboration and inter-institutional synergy have allowed these works to be returned to where they belong,” said Bagnaia’s mayor Giovanni Maria Arena. 

Sponsored by the Cassa di Risparmio

The 18 frescoes, from the oratory in the Church of Santo Stefano di Bagnaia, had already been restored by the Cassa di Risparmio and kept in the bank’s headquarters. "Today the frescoes of the Church of Santo Stefano and Palazzo Bazzichelli are on display in the historic Palazzo Gallo in Bagnaia,” said architect Paola Carlini of Viterbo’s Municipality. “This is a special day for Bagnaia,” added Aldo Quadrani of the Amici di Bagnaia Association. “A complex and delicate intervention made it possible to save these frescoes, and today we are presenting them to the public.

A mouth-watering experience by train

The Train of Flavours is a multisensory journey for travellers eager for new experiences and is the first of its kind in Europe. Designed to promote the area from Brescia to Edolo, it starts in Iseo, crosses the Franciacorta region and runs along the lake before climbing up the Vallecamonica valley to Edolo.

Two comfortable carriages and high-tech 

Financed by Trenord, the two resyled carriages – for a total of 85 passengers - are a beautiful flaming red, recalling those of early1900 trains and are powered by an electric diesel engine. One of the carriages has a comfortable bar and tasting room and a restaurant with 41 seats, while the second carriage is divided into two dining rooms. Both carriages are equipped with multimedia systems, an audio and video diffusion system and an external camera  that allows images of the landscape to be projected on screens.

Wine and food tastings, art and culture

The programmes take into account seasonal changes and the specific needs of the different groups, with itineraries featuring the area’s artistic, cultural and natural wonders to be enjoyed in a completely new and unique way. Accompanied by expert, multilingual guides passengers discover the many appealing aspects of the area with tastings of typical local wines, cheeses, meats, oil and honey. So at the end of the journey they take away not just memories of splendid landscapes but also the flavours of local products.
