    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.

        A trekking route full of young boys who try their hand at crossing the Apennines, through the via degli DEI from Bologna to Florence or vice versa. You breathe a very special air ...... Young !! 👍👍👍

          Along the Via degli Dei (Way of the Gods), you'll find the remains of the Flaminia Militare, an ancient Roman road built in 187 BC to connect Bologna to Arezzo. Hidden for centuries, it was rediscovered in the 1970s by two passionate hikers. Today, well-preserved sections of the original pavement can still be seen, nestled in the Apennine woods. Walking along it means traversing a true piece of history, on a journey that combines nature, archaeology, and memory.

                  The Via Flaminia Militare is a road of historical importance located in Italy. This military road takes its name from the ancient Via Flaminia, built by the Romans in 220 BC. to connect Rome with the city of Rimini.

                  The Via Flaminia Militare, however, was built during the Second World War as a strategic road for military purposes. Along the route, there are fortifications, observation posts and bunkers, evidence of the military operations that took place in this area during the conflict.

                  Today, the road is still used for logistical and tourist purposes, offering a direct connection between different Italian locations. The Via Flaminia Militare represents a tangible testimony to Italy's military history and a fascinating route to travel for history buffs and lovers of historical adventures.

                    Here you can follow in historical footsteps: Discover the remains of the Flaminia Militare, an ancient Roman road built in 187 BC by Consul Caio Flaminio. This road connected Bologna with Arezzo and likely followed a route already used by the Etruscans to cross the Apennines.

                    The Via Flaminia Militare is an ancient Roman road connecting Bologna and Arezzo. As Tito Livio recorded in 187 BC, it was built at the instigation of Consul Caio Flaminio, likely using a path already used by the Etruscans for trans-Apennine trade.

                    The paving of the Via Flaminia Militare not only served to expand the Roman road network. Rather, the goal was to create a wide and well-maintained road that would make it easier for armies to cross the Apennines without major difficulties.

                    Over time, the Via Flaminia Militare was gradually abandoned and eventually fell into obscurity during Roman times, having lost its strategic importance.

                    In 1977, archaeologists Franco Santi and Cesare Agostini began to deepen their studies into the existence of this road and began searching for it. After two years of intensive research, in August 1979, they discovered a paving stone hidden beneath the foliage near Monte Bastione, not far from the Futa Pass. It was a slab of rock commonly used for road construction in Roman times.

                    It is important to note that in addition to this ancient Roman road, there is another road with the same name: the Via Flaminia Militare, built as a strategic road for military purposes during World War II. Its name derives from the ancient Via Flaminia, built by the Romans as early as 220 BC to connect Rome to the city of Rimini.
