Soon after leaving Sopravino, we cross another river which flows into the Po from the South, the Trebbia river, which we cross over the «Ponte Trebbia». Then, we hike East again through the suburbs of today's destination Piacenza, the capital of the local province with the same name.
Piacenza was founded by Etruscans and became a roman colony in 219 B.C., a colony on the Via Emilia. This is a city worth spending a day to explore the Piazza Dei Cavalli, the gothic church San Francesco built with bricks, the cathedral and much more.

Sollte die Fähre ab Corte Sant´Andrea nicht in Betrieb sein, so bringt uns die Variante Guzzafame ebenfalls nach Piacenza, und zwar per pedes und erst noch kostenlos.
