Togliano: Chapel, Memorial Park and Art History

For a culture-focused trip, Togliano offers tangible historical points of interest: the Chapel of Santo Stefano in the cemetery, the Parco della Rimembranza and distinctive architectural and artistic features. A 24-kilometre circular route and a tasting room for guests add opportunities for exercise and culinary enjoyment. You can consider which experiences you would like to make the focus of your trip: sacred architecture and art, remembrance in the park, a circular route or a tasting.

Chapel, Church and Paintings

The Chapel of Santo Stefano is located in Togliano’s cemetery and dates back to the 13th century. It provides a medieval point of reference. The Church of Saint Maurice the Abbot offers a different perspective on sacred architecture: its square atrium dates from the 16th century, and the church contains a marble holy-water font dating from 1558. The church was also restored in 1749. The atrium, font and restoration date point to different aspects: a spatial form, a furnishing with a precisely dated year of creation, and a later intervention.

Villa Maisano also brings together architectural and art history. Pietro della Torre had it built in 1587 as a summer residence. The villa contains 16th-century paintings, including a large frieze with flowers and tritons, attributed to the school of Paolo Amalteo. The combination of a named subject and a cautiously worded attribution makes the frieze a particularly noteworthy art-historical detail. Your discoveries thus take you between architectural forms, dated furnishings and visual art.

Remembrance at the Entrance to the Village

The Parco della Rimembranza di Togliano is located at the entrance to Togliano, in a south-easterly direction, where the SR356 meets Via Sottoplovie. The park is connected with the remembrance of the fallen: when it was inaugurated, the names of 26 fallen soldiers from Togliano were placed on the park’s trees. These names give the memorial site a personal dimension. Together with the religious and artistic points of interest, the park offers another way to connect with the history of the place.

Plan a Circular Route and a Tasting

The Anello della Val Chiarò circular route is 24 kilometres long. Knowing the exact distance helps you decide how to fit a circular walk into your travel plans. In addition, Valchiarò has a tasting room for guests at its location in Togliano. If you plan a tasting, confirm the arrangements before your trip.

When choosing a holiday apartment, the experiences you want can shape your plans: would you like to focus on culture and historical details, or should a circular route take centre stage in your day? The tasting option offers another culinary point of interest. These different priorities can help you tailor your trip to your interests without packing every experience into a fixed itinerary.
