The bridge over the Rabbi and the Via Del Partigiano are recent constructions, but the crossing of the river in that part of the Forlì territory is already described in ancient documents... ... There is talk of a bridge in Vecchiazzano in the Libro Biscia di San Mercuriale in a document from 1196. If nature was benevolent, it is the same structure that the chronicler Giovanni di Mastro Pedrino will describe as having been overwhelmed by a flood of the Rabbi in 1433. Antonio Ordelaffi had it built in wood in 1445 with the help of a certain Mastro Giacomo da Ferrara, but only 36 years later the “Elders” of Forlì had it rebuilt by Ludovico di Andrea da Lugo and Lorenzo Antonio known as “Malabestia”. In 1842 a great flood caused enormous damage to the wooden structure and in 1860 the beautiful brick structure that we still see today was built..... ..... The bridge was the only one among those in Forlì to be saved, despite extensive damage, from the Allied bombings first and then from the German devastation, in the terrible moments of the Liberation that in Forlì is dated November 9, 1944. During the restoration carried out by the Municipality starting in 2005, unexploded mines that the Nazis had placed for its destruction were found under one span. The mines remained on that site for over 60 years. Today the beautiful nineteenth-century structure, which can only be crossed on foot or on two wheels, is the symbol of the pedestrian path of the embankment on the river.....

What you don't expect and what you encounter while walking.

A really big and magical park! There are many rabbits that are friendly to people. There is also a pond with ducks and nutria. Unfortunately you can see the devastation caused by the various floods between May 2023 and November 2024. The park is also suitable for jogging and there are some sports equipment.

The fortress was built in the years between 1360 and 1365 at the behest of Cardinal Egidio Albornoz, the cardinal to whom the Pope entrusted the reconquest of the Romagna lands. Even before Albornoz's arrival in Forlimpopoli there was a fortification guarding the city walls. In 1356 the Ordelaffi family restored and strengthened the city's fortifications, but in 1360 Cardinal Egidio Albornoz, at the head of the papal troops, after a long siege, razed almost the entire city to the ground, allowing the troops to plunder the homes and kill residents. The fortress was rebuilt on the basis of the previous one and incorporating pre-existing buildings, such as the old church which served as a cathedral. ... At the end of the 16th century, the fortress of Forlimpopoli definitively lost its defensive function and was transformed into a noble residence...

Very nice park for running, full of free rabbits who are not afraid of human passage.
