Here you can admire the remains of the Flaminia Militare, an ancient Roman road built in 187 BC. by the consul Caio Flaminio. The road connected Bologna to Arezzo and it is assumed that it followed the route previously used by the Etruscans to cross the Apennines.

The Via Flaminia Militare is an ancient Roman road that connects Bologna to Arezzo and was built, as documented by Tito Livio in 187 BC, by the will of the consul Caio Flaminio. The construction followed in the footsteps of a path already trodden in the past by the Etruscans, used for trans-Apennine trade.

The purpose for which the Via Flaminia Militare was paved was not only to expand the Roman road network. The goal was rather to build a wide and well-structured road that would facilitate the movement of armies by crossing the Apennines without too much difficulty.

The Via Flaminia Militare was gradually abandoned until it was forgotten due to the loss of the strategic role it covered in Roman times.

In 1997 Franco Santi and Cesare Agostini, both archaeologists, deepened their studies on the existence of this road and set out to look for it. After two years of intense research, in August 1979 they unearthed a stretch of paving hidden under the foliage. It is a slab of rock that was usually used for the construction of roads in Roman times. This discovery took place near Monte Bastione not far from the Futa Pass.
