The real landmark at this intersection

The abbey of Saints Fabiano and Sebastiano dates back to the 8th-9th century and represents one of the oldest and most important monuments in the Lavino Valley. Since its origins it has been a welcoming place for travellers, given its strategic position. It was restored in 2005.

The Abbey of Saints Fabiano and Sebastiano is one of the oldest and most important monuments in the Lavino Valley, located in a geographically strategic position which has made it a welcoming place for travellers, since its origins, in the 8th-9th century. Various events have accompanied the thousand-year life of the Abbey and its numerous properties: it was a Benedictine convent until 1408, and subsequently a Commenda, that is, a benefit with income from the rich land heritage in favor of illustrious people, including Ludovico Beccadelli, to whom it is dedicated the decoration of the main altar. In 1586 it passed to the Montalto College of Bologna; in 1797, following the Napoleonic suppressions, it became the private property of the Castelli, Nicoletti and finally Mainoldi families who in 2000 donated the church to the Municipality of Monte San Pietro. In 2005 the building was completely restored; the works which involved the consolidation of the structure, the reconstruction of the roof and the floor, brought to light a series of frescoes which document unpublished moments in the history of the monument. https://www.cuorecollibolognesi.it/it/cosa-fare/punti-di-interest/abbazia-dei-santi-fabiano-e-sebastiano/

On the border between the municipalities of Monte San Pietro and Valsamoggia there is a memorial stone in memory of the civilian victims of the summer of 1944 who lost their lives under the bombings and during the roundups in that phase of the war that we know well here under the name of the Gothic Line . The Lavino stream also originates here and is one of the points touched by the Piccola Cassia.

Path 8 leads to the Abbey of Saints Fabiano and Sebastiano, which is one of the most important monuments in the Lavino Valley. For visits contact +39 051 6764437.
