Holiday apartment in Fiano between nature and local history
Gentle paths and rural roads run through Fiano, leading through meadows and fields. Lush forests interrupt this open landscape and give it a varied character. The agricultural area extends towards Parco Naturale La Mandria. This combination may be of interest to you if, when choosing your accommodation, you take into account a peaceful setting shaped by fields and woodland as well as cultural discoveries.
Churches, chapels and Castello di Fiano
Castello di Fiano was donated to the municipality by Vittorio Emanuele II in 1862 and subsequently partly restored. Cappella di Sant'Anna is located nearby. Thus, different historical points of interest are found close together in Fiano, even though they do not refer to the same period: the parish church of San Desiderio was built after 1675 and renovated in the second half of the 18th century.
Cappella di San Rocco dates from the late 16th century. It is located in a forest, just a few minutes' walk or a short distance from the built-up area. Cappella di Sant'Anna is considered noteworthy for its fresco triptych, whose centre depicts the Shroud. The chapel is used for religious services on the occasion of the Feast of Saint Anne.
Agriculture, festivals and World Heritage
At the end of May, the “Fiano ci cova” fair takes place. The agricultural and food exhibition presents numerous local agricultural producers, local dishes and festive traditions. In this way, Fiano's rural character also takes on a culinary and community dimension. Parco Naturale La Mandria is on the UNESCO World Heritage List because it contains Reggia di Venaria and Castello della Mandria.
A route for cyclists
A special sporting perspective is offered by the route from Varisella via Varallo T.se to Fiano. The route initially follows a flat, fast stretch and then continues along a technically demanding descent over rounded stones to Cappella di San Rocco. The clearly differing sections of the route help you consciously plan a more active stay in Fiano. Together with the paths through meadows, fields and forests, they create a destination that combines observing nature, local history, regional traditions and sporting activities.
