Where is it

This municipality, with a clear agricultural vocation – beans are the typical local crop – is located a few kilometers from the Fiorenzuola d’Arda motorway exit.

Do not miss

The historical-architectural heritage is rich in buildings of considerable value: the church, dedicated to San Vitale, built in the early twentieth century; the town hall; the war memorial; the church of Bersano, built in the second half of the 20th century to replace the previous building from the 18th century; the church of Mercore.

On the table

Borlotti beans, which have always been grown by local farms, are the products that best represent the Municipality of Besenzone.

Keep Fit

 In June, non-competitive podistic run organized by Proloco Besenzone

Main events

On the second and third Sunday of July each year, the Fasö Festival is celebrated here. The Proloco organizes dance parties with traditional cuisine and initiatives, which keep the identity of these places alive.
