129 in fish-bone style: this characteristic pattern is still visible in certain portions of the wall, for example in the section above the portal arch. These same stones, locally called borlanti and found in the bends formed by the river, were widely used in the past in the construction of houses, so much so that one can say that 112. Cividate al Piano, the entrance to the castle 113. Cividate al Piano, the Campiveri Shrine the fishbone pattern distinguishes the historic face of Cividate. In the heart of the village there is the Parish church of San Nicolò, with a bas-relief on its wide façade. Another notable place of worship is the minute church of Santa Margherita, embellished by frescos painted by the Baschenis of Averara and preceded by the beautiful portico under which, for centuries travellers and local peasants would find shelter. Leaving the village behind, and continuing towards Pontoglio one finally reaches the small village of Contrada dell’Oglio, with the nineteenth century Shrine of the Madonna Addolorata dei Campiveri.

130 *Art and History tre to be brightened by very lively murals, painted by Callisto Gritti, Trento Longaretti, Giacomo Marra and many other contemporary artists who, in their frescoes and mosaics have portrayed the more salient episodes and moments in the history of Calcio, interpreting them with a modern outlook. What results is a fascinating and magical atmosphere, mixing the moments and colours of today’s society with the evocative glimpses of the rural and agricultural history of these lands. A visit to the village reserves other interesting surprises, among which 2 manor houses: the Silvestri Castle, a medieval fortress transformed into an elegant Renaissance residence, and the later Oldofredi Castle, XV-XVI century, which with its harmonious forms indicates the passage from fortified castle to aristocratic holiday residence. Among the religious buildings of note there is the nineteenth century Parish church of San Vittore, covered by an inspiring dome, and the Renaissance church of Saints Fermo and Rustico, with its apse decorated with frescos by Bernardino Campi. The village also has a well-stocked Collection of Contemporary Art and a Photographic Museum, which contains documentary material, instruments and equipment tracing the history of photography and cinema. 114.
