The bucolic poetry of Cellarengo: the town of oxen, golden humped tench and the ears of wheat caressed by the wind.

Administration.
Food and wine and typical products.
The specialty of the “house” is undoubtedly golden humped tench of Pianalto, a variant of the common tench, characterized by its distinctive yellow-reddish livery.
To be seen.
The parish church, named after St. John the Baptist, contains interesting frescoes by Luigi Morgari.
Also, worth seeing is the Church of St. Firmino (Chiesa di San Firmino) and the Baroque Chapel of Our Lady of the Assumption (Cappella della Madonna Assunta).

Curiosity.
In the municipality's coat of arms, the image of the ox is related to cattle breeding, while the ears of wheat recall the most important agricultural production in the area.
