This town stands on a hill a few kilometres from Borgonovo Val Tidone, where the main activity is the cultivation of wine.
It's a small centre to visit for those who love wine and the rolling hills of the Apennines.
Located between Piacenza and Pavia, the area is characterised by the excellent wines of its hills, traditionally dedicated to viticulture.
What to see: in the village, S. Paolo Apostolo church and the 16th century building currently used as headquarters of the Town Hall; nearby the villages of Seminò, Montalbo and Vicobarone.
The Church of San Paolo, the Town Hall and the remains of the 10th century Castle all together form the nucleus of the small village, which can then be left behind in search of one of the wineries present in the area.
Ziano has a balcony from which you can enjoy the view of the hills surrounding the village: three seats where you can sit, read and admire the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Here the genuineness of the PDO and Piacenza recipes is inevitably paired with a DOC: Gutturnio, Malvasia or Ortrugo.
In the second half of the year some appointments of the Val Tidone Festival take place in the valley.
A fair dedicated to wine called "Festa dell'Uva" is held in September together with some events that are part of the Val Tidone Wine Fest.
Worth visiting are the small towns of Seminò and Montalbo where there are some castles, now private property and visible only from the outside.
