Returning for autumn 2026 is "Andar per... Chiese", the series of popular and free walks dedicated to the churches of the area, led by Franco Boni. The first appointment is on Saturday 7 November in Montecchio Emilia, meeting at 11:30 in the parking lot of the Santuario della B.V. dell'Olmo, in strada Bassa 1. The walk leads to the churches of Montecchio and to the paliotti in coloured scagliola made by Glauco Nironi, displayed in the exhibition set up in the Marabu premises. The route is short, 1.5 km on asphalt, and ends with the possibility of buying gnocco fritto at the Marabu social centre. The initiative is promoted by the Associazione La Vecchia Montecchio; after Montecchio the calendar continues with other stops in Cavriago, Quattro Castella and San Polo d'Enza.
