Holiday apartment in Buscoldo: culture, theatre and historic sites

Buscoldo reveals its character directly in the townscape. Cobblestone lanes and old red-brick houses give the town a distinctive historic character. This allows you to organise your plans around local history, theatre programmes and walks through the countryside.

Theatre for different interests

The Teatro Comunale di Curtatone is located in the town, and its name refers to Giuseppe Verdi. It offers drama, cabaret, theatre for families and young people, opera, classical music, operetta and dialect theatre. This provides a specific cultural connection both for families and young people and for you if you are interested in opera, classical music, cabaret, operetta or regional forms of theatre.

Churches, organ and architectural history

The late Baroque Chiesa di S. Marco in Buscoldo dates back to the years 1760 to 1792 and has an organ by Montesanti from 1834. After the renovation and extension of an earlier church building, it was opened for worship on the third Sunday in October 1792.

The Santuario della Beata Vergine del Buon Consiglio stands in the immediate vicinity of Buscoldo. It was built in 1757 by the community of Buscoldo on the remains of an ancient Gonzaga tower. The sanctuary's chapel was completed in 1804 and connected to the fountain by a vaulted passage above the road. The parish of Buscoldo also preserves two paintings by the 18th-century painter Antonio Brunetti. The Santuario della Beata Vergine Madre del Buon Consiglio is one of Italy's Marian sanctuaries.
