Great House of the Jew:
The structure owes its name to the Jew Salomone di Gaglio, a wealthy man, who arrived in Oliveto in 1393, settling in the inn of the castle and opening the first bank in the Bolognese Apennines. The business was very successful, so much so that it came to serve the territory of the Lavino, Samoggia and Panaro valleys. Given the success of the bank, Salomone had the large house of the Jew built and attracted many other Jews to Oliveto who in the years to come formed a thriving Jewish community. This community, unfortunately disappeared when in 1428 Oliveto was besieged by troops commanded by Jacopo Caldora.

A few meters away is the Bell Tower, attached to the church of San Paolo, without a facade.
