Departure from Piazza Generale A. Cantore in Ferrara di Monte Baldo and, going along the provincial road alongside the Baldo hotel or along the long 120-step staircase, you go up to the parish church of S. Caterina di Vilmezzano.

Parish Church of Santa Caterina di VM

Chiesa di Santa Caterina V.M.

The church of S. Caterina in Ferrara di Montebaldo is documented starting from 1220. Originally a chapel subject to the parish church of S. Maria in Caprino, in 1338 it was erected as a parish church. The current parish church is the result of the expansion works carried out between 1870 and 1890 on a project by the architect Don Angelo Gottardi. The internal elevations are crossed by a double molded cornice; the upper sector is decorated with wall paintings by the painter Rino Saoncella, depicting "Stories from the life of St. Catherine of Alexandria" and "St. Catherine of Alexandria in glory".

Continuing towards the Cà di Sotto district you arrive at the Mezzavilla district where, not far away, you can see the old fountain washhouse.

Ancient mountain wash house

Antico lavatoio di montagna

Cross the district and go up until you reach Castello and continue along the "Strada Graziani" built during the war of 1915-18 by General Graziani himself. At the crossroads there is a capital built in 1700 and continues up to the ancient settlement of Campedello which was the municipal seat before Ferrara itself.

A fountain-washhouse was built in the center of the neighborhood in the 1960s.
