Tossignano is an ancient village that develops on a chalky cliff around the ruins of the fortress. The name derives from the Roman toponym Thausignanum, while in more recent times a large part of Tossignano was razed to the ground by bombings during the Second World War, including the fortress. It stood in a strategic position, from which it dominated the entire valley: for this reason it is now a notable panoramic point. Today only the moat and the foundations of the drawbridge can be seen.

Mount Rontana marks, together with other peaks, the watershed ridge between the valley of the Sintria stream (to the north) and the valley of the Lamone river (to the south). On the summit of the mountain stands a large reinforced concrete cross, designed by the engineer Vincenzo Ferniani, inaugurated on 29 September 1901 and dedicated to Christ the Redeemer. Near its top is the important archaeological site of Rontana Castle. (Source: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_di_Rontana)

The castle of Rontana, unfortunately destroyed, stood on the top of Monte di Rontana and is remembered for the first time in 973 with Ugone di Rontana [23]. Over the centuries, the fortification belonged, in succession: to the Forlivesi (1201), to the Faenza (1209), to the Manfredi (1291), to Maghinardo Pagani (1292), to the Manfredi di Marradi (1413), alternatively to the Manfredi and the Holy See (during the fourteenth century). In 1500 it was conquered by Dionigi Naldi on behalf of Cesare Borgia; in 1506 it belonged to the Venetians, and then returned again to the Papal State. In 1591 Pope Gregory XIV ordered its demolition, having become the refuge of a large band of brigands. Since then, the castle has never been rebuilt and today only a few ruins remain.
