Travel Guide Bobbio

Bobbio, the main center of the Trebbia Valley, rises on the left bank of the river of the same name, at the foot of Mount Penice. Thanks to the presence of the Abbey of St. Columba, Bobbio was an important place of religious culture in Italy and a cosmopolitan center of art, culture and science in the Middle Ages. From the glories of the past, Bobbio keeps its charming medieval center, composed of narrow streets, stone houses and noble residences. Its artistic richness and the beauty of its landscapes make it a popular tourist destination, both in summer for hiking and swimming in the rivers, and in winter for skiing in the surrounding mountains.
