Salandra.
The town is situated on a hill and dominates the
torrent Salandrella Valley. Its origins probably
date back to the Norman period.
It later became a feud of the baron Gilberto from
Salandra, who was succeeded by Francesco Attendolo
Sforza and the Revertera family.
In the town, it is possible to see the ruins of
the castle, built in the XII century, of which there
are few walls and two arches left.
The XVII century ‘Convento della Riforma’,
characterised by an elegant portal and sculptures
portraying two lions in Romanesque style, is very
beautiful from an artistic point of view.
The church of Sant'Antonio is noteworthy. Inside
it, it is possible to admire a precious XVII century
polyptych portraying the Virgin Mary with the Infant,
attributed to the Monk Simone da Firenze, and another
polyptych, dating from 1580, by Antonio Stabile.
