Day 37 Piacenza to Orio Litta

Not too many photos today as the scenery didn’t really change. I walked over the bridge out of Piacenza and in doing so left Emilia Romagna and entered Lombardia. Then spent the rest of the day walking along the embankment of the Po river. I went through one little village with a church but no cafe/bar. The temperature leaving Piacenza at 7am was already 19°c by the time I finished 27km later it was 29°c. There was no shade, no seats and it was sealed road all the way. I developed a rash on my legs called a Disney rash (exercise induced vasculitis) from the heat and exercise. In Orio Litta the is a place called Villa Orio Litta Carini built by Giovanni Ruggeri in the 1880s now owned by the Carini family. On the whole a difficult day in the heat which I would prefer not to repeat.Læs mere
