The itinerary is signposted with panels representing Don Lorenzo Guetti.
The 28th of September 1890, the collaboration between Don Guetti, the teacher Daniele Speranza and the priest Giovanni Battista Lenzi gave life to the Cooperative Society of sales and consumers in Villa del Bleggio. Their figures are the ones represented on the murals illustrating the history of the father of cooperation.
