The shit museum Location Castelbosco,
Frazione Campremoldo Sopra
The exhibition rooms were inaugurated in 2015 on the ground floor of the company headquarters in the medieval castle of Castelbosco. Collected here, between continuous updates and new commissions, are testimonies of aesthetic and scientific, human and animal, and current and past experiences, which make shit into practical and living material. From the dung beetle, considered divine by the Egyptians (and symbol of the Museum), to the use of dung in architecture, from ancient Italic civilizations to Africa, passing through historical-literary works such as Pliny’s “Naturalis Historia”. Up to the most current scientific research and works of art that touch on using and reusing scraps and waste. A contemporary cabinet of curiosities that finds its guiding principle in the science and art of transformation.

Halfway between the plai and the hills, Agazzano rises along the course of the Luretta strsam, west of the captal. The The castle of Agazzano composed of a fortress of military origin dating back to the 13th century, rebuilt in 1475, and an 18th-century residential complex, constitute a point of interest. The Scotti family, from which Alberto was acclaimed the first lord of Piacenza, descended, conquered, and maintained power over Agazzano from 1200. The fortress is testimony to this. Subsequently, with the death of the last male heir in the 18th century, the Anguissola family joined the Scotti family; later, the ties also opened to the Gonzagas, who still own the Castle today. The castle cannot be without the gost. In Agazzano, the guest of honor is Pier Maria Scotti, better known as “il Buso” for the wounds he left on enemies in combat.

The ancient “Pieve di Verdeto” is a church dating back to the Romanesque-Gothic era located near Agazzano, on the Cammino di San Colombano route in the last stretch before Bobbio. The first news of its archpriesthood dates back to 1123, but its foundation is much older, certainly before the year one thousand. In 1123, Bishop Arduino donated it to the Cathedral of Piacenza.
In 1132, an act of Pope Innocent II listed eight parish churches among the assets of the Cathedral, including the Parish Church of Verdeto with all its chapels. Still, it exempted it from paying tithes because the income had been very modest since then.
Towards the middle of the eighteenth century, the church was remodeled entirely: the high altar in polychrome marble was inserted, and the entire covering of the vault and the presbytery walls were decorated.
The frescoes, of exceptional artistry and quality, date back to the Bibiena school and constitute an example of rare perspective decoration.
The rebirth of the ancient parish church began in 2009 through extensive redevelopment works on the structure, which today can accommodate 25 people.
