Holiday Apartment in Cambiano Among Churches and Art
One cultural highlight is the Chiesa Ss Vincenzo e Anastasio. It has three naves, eight side chapels and a late Baroque façade. Its oldest construction phase dates back to 1064. Another church is the 17th-century Chiesa dello Spirito Santo, with a medieval bell tower.
The Chiesa di Madonna della Scala is regarded as an old rural chapel; in the first documentary records, dating from 1671, it was described as an old rural chapel. The Confraternita dello Spirito Santo was also already in existence before 1580. In 1620, it decided to build its own chapel.
The Salone Consiliare houses and displays paintings by Giacomo Grosso as part of the artistic heritage. Several decorated votive pillars are also part of Cambiano’s artistic heritage. Cambiano come Montmartre is a recurring art event in the historic center; the 2026 edition was the 39th edition. The Presepe Meccanico is a handcrafted creation that attracts visitors every Christmas. Cambiano come Montmartre focuses on the historic center, while the Presepe Meccanico focuses on handcrafted creation during the Christmas season.
Munlab: Clay, Brickworks and Nature Trails
The Munlab Ecomuseo dell'Argilla presents the history of the brickworks through exhibitions, creative experiments and design-related workshops. Its tour combines indoor spaces with paths through clay pits and explores the properties of clay, brickmaking technology, and the stories of life and work surrounding the brickworks. The ecomuseum includes a century-old kiln, a nature oasis, a still-active factory and clay pits. The century-old kiln and the still-active factory represent different aspects of the history of the brickworks.
Another route connection is provided by the Via dei Frutti Rossi: it leads to Cambiano along unpaved roads and nature trails; the return route follows the Cambiano–Madonna della Scala cycle path. Anyone including the Via dei Frutti Rossi should take the transition between unpaved roads, nature trails and the Cambiano–Madonna della Scala cycle path into account when planning the day.
Tomatoes and Agricultural Identity
Costoluto di Cambiano, also known as Piatta di Cambiano, is at the center of the Sagra del Pomodoro Costoluto. The event originated in 1977 through the initiative of farmers who cultivated this tomato variety, and it is connected to the area’s agricultural identity.
