A nice little village where time seems to have stopped

medieval village that deserves to be visited

A charming little village on the top of a hill, Monfestino deserves to be visited in passing, in silence so as not to disturb the residents.

Montefiorino is a small town in the province of Modena, known for being the center of the first Partisan Republic in the Second World War. The town is characterized by its imposing medieval fortress, which houses two museums dedicated to the Resistance and local history.

Montecuccolo Castle is a wonderful and majestic well-preserved castle that is worth visiting. Its history begins at the time of Matilda of Canossa, when a family of her vassals obtained the investiture of the fiefdom in 1116 from Emperor Henry V and built a tower and a first palace on this hill at the beginning of the 12th century. After a long struggle with other local feudal lords, the Montecuccoli, who emerged victorious, expanded the fortress which took on its current appearance between the 15th and 17th centuries, with the addition of the new palace, the square tower and the podesteria. The castle offers a beautiful view of the sunset from its terrace located in the rear entrance, where the restaurant is also located. A curious fact about the castle is that it houses the highest balsamic vinegar cell in the world, at an altitude of 873 metres.

The castle of Pompeano (fraction of Serramazzoni) is a building perched on a stone of volcanic origin. A steep stairway climb leads to the portal with a pointed arch. From a window of the portal you can admire the Church of San Geminiano al Sasso with the bell tower, the square-based watchtower and the feudal palace. The wall is present only on the side of the entrance, while the remaining sides are protected by overhanging walls. Visits by reservation.
