Salvatronda: Il Bagolaro, the Cippo Gromatico and routes

You can plan a trip to Salvatronda around three specific themes: the centuries-old Il Bagolaro tree in the historic centre, the Cippo Gromatico and its connection to Roman land surveying, and routes for walking and cycling. This brings together the townscape, history and outdoor activities. When choosing a place to stay, you can weigh up whether a distinctive town centre, a historical landmark or routes that suit your plans matter most to you. The Cammino has no footpath along Via Cerchiara; the cycle path begins after the junction with Viale Italia, heading towards Salvatronda, and the surface and signage may vary.

Il Bagolaro and the design of the town centre

In the historic centre, the centuries-old tree “Il Bagolaro” (Celtis Australis) defines the area. The project plan envisaged making the area around the tree the focal point of a traffic-free public space. It also called for a large planted area and a pedestrian zone paved with porphyry. The tree itself is a defining feature of the historic centre; the traffic-free area, planting and porphyry paving, by contrast, are part of the proposed design for the public space.

The Cippo Gromatico and Roman land surveying

In Salvatronda, the Cippo Gromatico stands by a road at the junction of Via Centro and Via Lovara. It is a marker of Roman land surveying and dates from the 2nd to 1st century BC.

Walking: distinguish between the town centre and the Cammino

The redesign of the town centre created public pedestrian areas and safe walking routes. In Salvatronda, the Cammino del Beato Enrico da Bolzano follows Via Centro, past the parish church, and then continues along Via Cerchiara. There is no footpath along the section of Via Cerchiara.
