Resistance Walk
A commemorative walk through the partisan hills of Calosso
About Resistance Walk
A walk between memory and landscape
The Resistance Walk is a civic commemoration event held in Calosso, a small town in the Province of Asti nestled among the Moscato hills in the heart of Piedmont. The initiative uniquely links the pleasure of slow walking through vineyards and woods with the memory of the Partisan Resistance, held around April 25th, Liberation Day.
The route and Bricco Crevacuore
The meeting point is Piazza Sant'Alessandro, in the center of Calosso. From here, the approximately six-kilometer walk begins, winding along dirt roads and quiet country paths up to Bricco Crevacuore, a panoramic viewpoint that has become a place of remembrance for the partisans who fell in the Fausano valley. Along the way, there are short stops with readings dedicated to the liberation struggle, and a small commemorative ceremony is held upon arrival.
Readings, short films, and the culture of the Resistance
The day does not end with the walk. Upon returning to the Don Monticone Hall, the program features screenings of documentaries and short films about the local area and partisan memory, often with the directors in attendance, as well as musical-literary readings that weave together words and live music. It is a way to transform a walk into a complete cultural experience, accessible to families, hikers, and history enthusiasts.
Organizers
The event is born from the collaboration between the ANPI of Costigliole d'Asti and the provincial branch, the Pro Loco of Calosso, the Amici di Calosso association, and the Camminare lentamente association, with the patronage of the Municipality of Calosso. Participation is free and open to all, in line with the popular and shared spirit of the event.
Why it is worth it
- An opportunity to discover the Asti Moscato hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site, on foot.
- An accessible route, suitable for those who love slow walking and nature.
- An authentic moment of historical memory, far from superficial celebrations.
- Live culture with films, readings, and music in the heart of a Piedmontese village.
