Subjects : Siccomario is a portion of the Po Valley between the Ticino and the Po and extends from the confluence of the rivers in the east to the border of the Municipality of Cava Manara in the west, with the Ticino in the north and the Po in the south. It is an area of the irrigated plain where it is possible, in the various seasons, to photograph rural landscapes, farmhouses, woods and the banks of rivers. Throughout the seasons, there is a remarkable variety of migratory birds, especially wading birds during the period of flooding of the rice paddies. There is no shortage of monuments and emergencies in the area, from the Romanesque church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary to the steel structures of the Becca bridge, over the Po.

Recommended equipment : Apart from bird shooting, it is an area of open spaces, so landscapes. filming is generally done during walks or bike rides (the paths in the Ticino park are forbidden to motor vehicles). So light, wide-angle equipment, even pushed. Macros for flowers and insects surrounding paths in the countryside.

Best months : All year round, even if the landscape in summer is, like the whole Po Valley, very monotonous. The period of flooding of the rice fields is interesting and the period of early spring and autumn is very beautiful. Many paths become inaccessible before the corn harvest because the vegetation prevents photography from the countryside

How to get there : by car from Milan or Genoa, exit the A7 motorway Gropello Cairoli, from Piedmont and Emilia, exit the A21 motorway Casteggio. For public transport, please refer to Pavia. You can also get there by small motor boats or canoe along the Po or along the Ticino from some of the piers in the area

Visits : There are no visiting hours because there are no important museums to visit. For events, festivals or shows you can look on the profile of the pro loco of Travaco' Siccomario

Notes : Paths in the Ticino Park (all the territory) forbidden to motor vehicles, in summer, in the evening, mosquitoes do a pop concert, do not go near them. Be careful for those who move with the dog: it is not possible to leave them free along the paths due to the presence of dens or nests to be preserved and, above all, attention to the presence of female wild boars with young that can become very dangerous, for the dog but also for humans.
