In Dozza, art becomes the urban landscape and furnishes the walls of the houses, the streets and the squares, flooding every corner with light and different styles and opening up to bursts of sudden colours.
It is a real open-air museum, where you can admire over a hundred works created by prestigious names in contemporary art.
Inside the fortress are preserved the frescoes and sketches of the works on the wall exhibited in the Study and Documentation Center of the Painted Wall.

Dozza deserves to be visited both for the context and for the beautiful fortress, with the adjoining Regional Enoteca. It is a characteristic village, embellished by the murals of the Painted Wall.
By mountain bike it is the gateway to access the crest of the Monte Del Re gullies, the last "white" gullies of Romagna

Ducia and Dutia the oldest; Dozza the current one. This is the evolution of the name of the village, which passed through the forms of Duza and Doccia, before the final outcome.
Many sounds to link this location to a single element: water, the lack of which has characterized its name, and therefore, its history. From the coat of arms of the Municipality, with the griffin drinking, to the findings of an ancient aqueduct coming from Monte del Re, up to the toponyms of the churches, everything connects the name of Dozza to the "shower", a conduit through which the water flows.
Almost a paradox, for a village that for centuries has made quality wine a source of wealth and a flag.
Inhabited since the Bronze Age, the place was first subjected to the Gauls, then to the Romans. It began to flourish again before the year 1000. It was the Bolognese who surrounded it with walls in 1086 and about two centuries later built the fortress with the ravelin, to defend the entrance to the village. The first written document that tells us about a Castrum Ducie dates back to 1126. For centuries it was the subject of dispute due to its strategic position dominating the Via Emilia. It flourished again and found a certain stability with Caterina Sforza, who rebuilt the fortress. Then, at the end of long disputes, it became a fiefdom of the Malvezzi-Campeggi family.
