The Nure (Latin Nura) is a small river in northern Italy (province of Piacenza). It has its source on the northern slopes of Mt. Nero, elevation 1,754 metres (5,755 ft) above sea level, and after a course of about 75 kilometres (47 mi)—the second longest of the province—flows into the Po River 10 kilometres (6 mi) east of Piacenza, in the vicinity of Roncarolo, a frazione of the commune of Caorso, on the border with the Lombard commune of Caselle Landi. The upper valley is somewhat influenced by the sea air, keeping it free of fog and strong winds, and therefore relatively pleasant even during the winter months. In this valley, there are 79 fortifications (castles, fortified towers and dwellings, etc.) The main villages along this river are: Ferriere, Bosconure, Cantoniera, Farini d'Olmo, Bettola, Ponte dell'Olio, Vigolzone, Grazzano Visconti, Podenzano. In addition to the main villages, other areas of the Val Nure (Valley of the Nure) are delineated by parishes, with churches located along the peaks of the mountains. One example is Cogno San Bassano, at the top of the mountain above Farini d'Olmo. In 1799 the French Auvergne Regiment was surrendered at this river during the Revolutionary Wars. This marked the end of the Battle of the Trebbia, in which Suvorov's Russian and Austrian troops won a complete victory.

The Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie or Collegiata is a Gothic style, Roman Catholic church and cathedral of Cortemaggiore, in the Province of Piacenza, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The church was built in 1480 using designs by Gilberto Manzi for a Latin cross layout. The belltower (1881) was added by Gaetano Guglielmetti. The interior conserves a valued polyptych, composed by twelve pieces, by Filippo Mazzola, the father of Parmigianino. The left aisle has the sculpturally elegant mausoleum (1499) of the Pallavicini family, including Gianludovico and his wife. The works are attributed to the school of Amedeo. The chapel of the Rosary contains a canvas of Madonna, Child and st Louis Gonzaga by Pompeo Batoni, and a restored Pieta by Il Pordenone. In the crypt is a fresco depicting Christ emerging from the Tomb (1522) attributed to Antonietto de' Renzi.

Cortemaggiore (Piacentino: Curtmagiùr) is an Italian comune located in the Province of Piacenza. Cortemaggiore is located in northern Italy about 80 kilometres (50 mi) from Milan and 120 kilometres (75 mi) from Bologna, in the Pianura Padana. The municipality borders Fiorenzuola d'Arda, Villanova sull'Arda, Besenzone, San Pietro in Cerro, Caorso, Pontenure and Cadeo. The town was founded in 1479 by the Pallavicino family, over an old Roman habitation, which had been the capital of the ancient Stato Pallavicino. In 1949 the Italian entrepreneur Enrico Mattei discovered in Cortemaggiore's subsoil an important oilfield; with this oil a gasoline called Supercortemaggiore was produced, the only one refined from Italian oil. The municipality's motto is Nihil sanctius quam recta fides cum sororibus associata - "Nothing is holier than a true faith combined with other virtues."

The Chiesa dell'Annunziata is a late-Gothic style, Roman Catholic church just outside of Cortemaggiore, in the Province of Piacenza, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The church is dedicated to Virgin Mary of the Annunciation. The church and the adjacent Franciscan order convent were begun in 1487 and the site consecrated in 1492. By 1492, twenty Franciscan monks had begun living at the convent. The church has a layout with a central nave and two aisles. The nave was frescoed by Bernardo Zenale. Inside is the octagonal Chapel of the Pallavicino family. The burial relics were transferred in 1812 to a mausoleum in the Collegiata in the town. However, the painter Giovanni Antonio de Sacchis known as il Pordenone, was employed in 1529–1530 to fresco walls of the chapel. Pordenone also painted an altarpiece for the chapel, but this was moved by the Farnese to Naples, and the original is on display in the Capodimonte. Adjacent to the church is the former Franciscan convent. This was suppressed in 1805. In 1870, it was restored to the church and hosted a group of Padri Sacramentini, as well as a school and town library. On 29 August 2023 it was announced that the church would close for services due to the lack of Franciscan priests to accommodate services. The regional undersecretary of Culture plans to find a way to open the site to visitors.

Castell'Arquato (Italian pronunciation: [kaˌstɛllarˈkwaːto]; Piacentino: Castél Arquä or Castél Arcuà) is an Italian town located on the first hills of Val D’Arda in the province of Piacenza, in Emilia-Romagna, approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Piacenza and 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Parma. Places nearby include Bacedasco, Vigolo Marchese, Fiorenzuola d'Arda, Lugagnano Val d'Arda, and Vernasca. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy"). A medieval town of traditional structure which has maintained its appearance as it was in the early 10th century, the Old Town of Castell'Arquato is a high rock which in other times was strategically important for dominating the valley, now surrounded by the village. Its picturesque medieval features have led to the burg's appearances in movies such as Ladyhawke. Opera librettist Luigi Illica, known for his long collaboration with composer Giacomo Puccini, but also with Alfredo Catalani and Umberto Giordano and author of the libretti of such operas as Tosca, La bohème, Madama Butterfly, La Wally and Andrea Chénier, was born in the borough in 1857 and is here buried. Castell'Arquato is also in the area of the Colli Piacentini (Piacenza Hills), an important area for wine production. The most important wines produced in the Colli Piacentini are Gutturnio, Bonarda, Ortrugo, Malvasia, and Monterosso Val d'Arda. The recent film Juliet and Romeo was filmed here. https://youtu.be/1SgikfMKAb8?si=wqJVa8HflGQEsCzH
