The Walks of the High Shady Hills and Clear Hills – Variant 6A

From the municipality of Sanico go down Via San Pietro for about 90 metres, then take the first dirt road on the left. After 250 metres, turn right and pass through the farmlands for about 600 metres. Keep going until you reach the paved road, in Molino towards Penango.

The route passes by a farmhouse, then continues into Via Stazione going through Regione Verginetto for about 1,20 km. In the small village of Penango there is the small church of San Grato, which was rebuilt and designed by Francesco Ottavio Magnocavallo in the 18th century. This Baroque-Piedmontese sacred building houses the canvases painted by Guglielmo Caccia, and cabinet work made by the local craftsman Giovanni Andrea Allemano. Magnocavallo also worked on the reconstruction of the church of San Vittore over an earlier romanic church, in the municipality of Cioccaro.

After 1,20 km, Via Stazione intersects with Via Garibaldi. Turn right into Via Garibaldi and go down this road for about 500 m, until you reach the intersection with Strada Provinciale 457. Go past the intersection and keep going on the dirt road that passes through the farmlands at first and then goes along the woods where it ends in Via Cantoglio. Continue here for 200 metres, then turn right into a large dirt road that passes through the farmlands again. After 350 metres, you come to an intersection. Go past it.

Pass between two farmhouses, and after 150 metres, go down the road keeping the right for only 20 metres. Then, take the first dirt road that passes through the farmlands on the left.

After less than 300 metres you get to the church of San Vittore. Shortly after, the road intersects with Strada della Collina. Go past it. Go along the local Relais Chateaux, then go down Via Biletta and keep the left at the intersection.
