Forte Bandiera Park is a wonderful place surrounded by hilly nature. Here you could admire a landscape characterized by wide meadows interspersed with rows of fruit trees, hedges and wooded areas, offering splendid panoramic views of Bologna, Rastignano, the Savena valley and the surrounding hills up to the Reno. The park extends around the hills of Jola and Bandiera, each with its own history and charm.

The name Bandiera recalls a family that, in the 18th century, owned several lands in the area, including the suggestive Casino Bandiera, located at the top of the hill and surrounded by a row of majestic cypresses. The area owes its name to a fortress built in 1860, now disappeared, which was part of a strategic defense line for the city, extending between the Reno and Savena rivers.

Typical extensive park, which maintains the fundamental characteristics of the traditional hilly landscape: meadows interrupted by rows of fruit trees, hedges, wooded areas, beautiful views of Bologna, Rastignano, the Savena valley and the hills up to the Reno.
It extends around the reliefs of Jola and Bandiera.
The latter is linked to the name of a family that in the 18th century owned various properties in the area, including the Casino Bandiera right at the top of the hill, where today a row of cypress trees stands tall.
The current name recalls a fortification built on the summit in 1860, which together with others on the nearby reliefs was part of a defensive line for the city between Reno and Savena.
There are no traces of the fort, while some ruins of the one built on the nearby hill of Jola have been preserved.
