    This is a suggestive panoramic point above the former Monticino quarry. In this area is the Geological Museum of Monticino, located outdoors in a gypsum quarry that has been inactive for over 15 years. Geologically, the Romagna Apennines offer here a composition of sedimentary rocks of marine origin, belonging to a mountain range formed and raised over the last 15 million years. Furthermore, from a paleontological point of view, the site is renowned for the discovery of fossil bones of terrestrial vertebrates, which took place in 1985 thanks to the passion and dedication of the local researcher Antonio Benericetti.
