The Piccola Cassia trail follows the Apennines road Romans used to get to the central Po plain from Pistoia towards Modena and Bologna. In the Early Middle Ages it became a Longobard road that led pilgrims to Rome and was connected to the Via Francigena. The trail from Bazzano to Rocca Corneta, completely signposted and entirely practicable is enriched with historical-religious evidences: Rocca di Bazzano, Monteveglio Abbey, Castle of Serravalle and S. Apollinare, the Abbey and its museum, Santa Lucia and Pieve di Roffeno, Bombiana, Rocca Corneta and a lot of historical hamlets.
