day 1
14:30 - REVERE
We'll be waiting for you by 2.30 pm. You can reach us by car, but also by train or plane if you come from far away! Call us to arrange your travel and don't worry! The trips of the following days are already included in the package.
15:00 – PALAZZO DUCALE (DUCAL PALACE)
The meeting point is in front of the Ducal Palace of Revere, and we will move on foot. Get ready to look at
these places with different eyes, those of who have inhabited our lands since prehistoric times and those with which the experience of augmented reality will take you back in time. May be you've heard about Bacchelli's novel “Il Mulino del Po” or you have seen reruns of a TV drama from the 60s; we will actually take you to discover a real Boat Mill of the Po! Fully functional, the mill perpetuates the tradition of an ancient craft, and still produces small amounts of flour from an organic supply chain.
17:00 - PO MUSEUM
We will continue our walk through the Revere village, returning to the Ducal Palace. The rooms of this splendid Gonzaga palace house the Po Museum; visiting them you will discover the evolution of this village, in an exhibition of finds and testimonies that will take you from prehistory to the twentieth century.

by reserved coach. The augmented reality installations, the performance of our actors, the interactive workshops on crafts and cuisine of the time, will make you relive the “protohistoric age”! A unique and exciting experience, which will end with a frugal lunch in the Etruscan style!

14:00 - S. BENEDETTO
The story told by our guide on the coach will take you across the river, crossing the Roman era to get to the medieval era, that you'll experience when you arrive at San Benedetto Po, in the monastic complex of Polirone.
15:00 - POLIRONE
This monastic complex tells the story of Counts and the Great Countess Matilde, of monks and the Rule of Saint Benedict, of artists and works that have made the Monastery Citadel unique, but also the story of a community that lives on the river bank and depends on it. Our guide and actors will accompany you along this path, while your children will be able to experience the art of mosaic, inspired by those of the floor of the church of Santa Maria.

17:00 - QUISTELLO
It's time for a bike ride to explore the countryside of the Oltrepò. After half an hour of cycling we'll arrive at the wine cooperative of Quistello.

The Lambrusco Mantovano wine and the story and anecdotes of the “Grappello Ruberti” vine variety will be the main characters of our dinner with typical dishes.

10:30 - PIEVE DI CORIANO
Our bike ride will continue along the Po bank, until we reach Pieve di Coriano after a few kilometres. We'll visit the wonderful Pieve (church) and then we'll relax at the Paleotta park. Our actors will take you into the magic world of bees and honey, very important also for our territory since ancient times. Honey and other typical products will be the main characters of our lunch/ picnic at the bike grill.
12:00 - ON THE VESSEL
If we're allowed to sail the Great River, we'll reach Felonica by water with a comfortable motor vessel. We'll leave from the Pieve di Coriano docking at 12.30. Following the current it will take us about two hours to arrive, entertained by the performance of our actors, enjoying the lunch basket with typical products and honey tasting.
13:00 - BIKE RIDE
If you are trained and staying on the bike for another 30 km is not a problem for you, you can reach Felonica by bicycle following the bank of the Po. We'll meet there to visit the World War II Museum.
14:00
We'll reach Felonica by reserved coach, we'll visit its beautiful little parish church and we'll close our ArcheTIPO experience with the contemporary era. With the discretion and respect for those who lived through those dark times, at the Museum of World War II, you will listen to the stories of war strategies, objects and idioms that are now habitual but which derive from them. The performance of our actors will make you relive a unique experience! As well as the one that your children will be able to experience, becoming little engineers dealing with the construction of SpitFires!
