Latest Piacenza hotel reviews
i-bella Says: The Cathedral of Piacenza (Il Duomo) is in the Romanesque style, like the ones of Parma, Modena and Ferrara, all built in the same period, between the 12th and 13th century. Inside there are beautiful frescos that were added some centuries later. The ones inside the dome are...
i-bella Says: Il Gotico (the gothic one) is the name that most people use when they talk of the Palazzo Comunale. This medieval palace was built in 1281 and it had to be much larger, but its construction was interrupted by a pestilence, so only part of the original project was completed....
Calcio Says: Well, I can’t really say there are any Piacenza-games that you really HAVE to see… But a derby against Parma should be nice, as homegames against big clubs as Milan, Inter and Juventus. Since they now are playing in Serie B maybe the game against Modena will be a nice one.
Calcio Says: Being one of the smaller clubs it’s not that strange that Piacenza also have a very small supporter-base. The ultras stands in one of the sectors in the curva nord, with “Vecchia Guardia”, “Viking”, “Official supporters and “Sparuta presenza” the most famous. But...
Calcio Says: Piacenza is playing their homegames at Stadio Leonardo Garilli, named after their famous ex-president. Garilli bought the club in 1983, then in the 4th division, and promised to take the club into Serie A. Nine years later his promised was made true.Leonardo went away in...
Calcio Says: Piacenza football club was formed as early as 1919, but it’s just the last 10-15 years that the club has been playing in a higher level. 1992/93 they went up to the Serie A for the first time, only to be relegated immediately back to Serie B, “thanks” to a 0-0 draw in the...

La Pireina: Forget first impressions
Laserone Says: The food here is in-cre-di-ble. The staff is higly qulified in the kitchen and serving the tables: they were the staff of a very old restaurant in the very heart of Piacenza (l´Agnello) that has closed because of retirement of its owner. When you sit, you will notice a jar...
Around the stadium: Eating before the game
Calcio Says: Can’t remember any special places close to the stadium, but there should be the possibility to eat a sandwich, sausage or a hamburger from the special food-wagons that you’ll always find outside Italian stadiums at matchdays.Otherwise I can recommend the fast-food-restaurant...

lauraeilaria Says: ANVEIN or PISAREI E FASO that are a kind of pasta and BURTLEINA that is a small omelette.
gianloalbe Says: The nocturnal life is developed more in province and on the hills that in city. Between the greater discotheques there is the 'Avila ', the ' Siglo de la reina ', the ' Comoeida ', the ' Carisma '. Between the greater ones pub there is ' the Locanda ', ' the Tucano ', ' the...
alicemarta Says: (In the summer you can go shopping also on Friday evening)If you come to visit Piacenza and you want to enjoy yourself you can spend your hot Saturday night dancing in various disco-pubs: for example AVILA, CAPRICE, MAD HOUSE, SIGLO DE LA REINA, COMMOEDIA, SONNAMBULAIf you...
Calcio Says: As written under “must see things” the stadium is quite a bit away from the trainstation. To go to the game is no problem. When you get out of the trainstation, just go straight over the piazza (or take left and eat breakfast at McDonalds, as I did…) and take the bus there....
Around the stadium: Football-souvenirs
Calcio Says: Yes, to no ones surprise you’ll find football-souvenirs outside the stadium from different salesmen. Flags, scarves and matchshirts just as examples. But remember they are all unofficial. For autumn- and winter-games it could be nice to buy a pillow to sit at, if you still...
Calcio Says: No no no… You’ll have to be a really good hooligan to find any trouble in Piacenza…
i-bella Says: In the province of Piacenza, in a beautiful landscape of low hills, it is possible to visit the remains of the Roman town of Veleia. It was discovered in 1747, many centuries after the town had been abandoned and forgotten.There are documents about the existence of this...
Laserone Says: Take a ride on the country-side in south of Piacenza in the beautiful vallies of Val Luretta, Val Trebbia and take your camera and appetite with you...
Calcio Says: There is a quite big ticket-office outside the head-stand at the stadium, where you can buy tickets to all sectors except for the away-sector. Prices are quite nice, specially now when they are in the Serie B. You won’t have to worry for a sold-out stadium, unless it’s the...

Piacenza - back in the Serie B
Piacenza doesn’t have one of the most famous clubs in Italy, to say the least. The city itself is nice, although nothing special, situated in the north parts of Italy, in the Emilia-area, but still......
