The symbol of the town has to be its bridge. Built by Matilda di Canossa, it’s known as the Devil's Bridge because of a legend that tells the story of how it came to be made. To explain the marked asymmetry of its arches, it’s said that the impressive structure was built with the help of the devil; in exchange for the bridge’s construction, he required the soul of whoever crossed it first.
In order to get around the agreement the villagers had a goat - not a human - walk the bridge first and the Devil, out of spite, altered the width of the arches, making the spacing inconsistent.
In the center, the oldest part of the town is structured around three main streets. Medieval palaces overlook the streets and are crowned by gardens and vegetable gardens. The Church of San Pietro is also well worth a visit, built in the 12th century AD and an interesting example of urban construction in a rural setting.
