It is one of the most important places of remembrance of anti-fascism in Bologna. Here, in December 1944, groups of partisans were led by the Nazi-Fascists on several occasions and then shot. Their bodies were found, after the war, in the ravine below. Almost thirty years later, thanks to the economic effort of the Municipalities that created the “Committee to Honor the Fallen of Sabbiuno” and with the mostly voluntary and free work of designers and workers, what is considered one of the most evocative monuments to the Resistance was created. The path from the farmhouse to the site of the massacre is marked by fifty-three boulders with the names of the recognized victims engraved on them. The fifty-fourth was placed to remember all the other fallen up to the symbolic number of one hundred, as their real number could not be ascertained. The curved concrete wall represents the deployment of the soldiers and the red barbed wire the falling of the bodies to the valley where a white cross is placed. The project is by the Gruppo Architetti Città Nuova, and the inauguration took place on 2 June 1973.

The meadows of Mugnano are a gem

at certain times it is also possible to find it open to visit the church

Monte delle Formiche is a relief in the middle Bolognese Apennines above Pianoro, between the Idice valleys and the Zena valley. It has an altitude of 638 m. The name of the mountain seems to be linked to a natural phenomenon that occurs annually around September 8th, the feast day of the Madonna to whom a sanctuary is dedicated at the top of the mountain. Swarms of winged ants of the Mirmyca Scabrinodis variety migrate to this peak from central Europe to make their nuptial flight and die there. The event, which has been witnessed since ancient times, has over time taken on an almost miraculous value, a sort of homage from nature to the Madonna. From the sanctuary there is a beautiful panoramic view of the valleys below. By bike it is a beautiful climb with significant gradients.

They are the Calanchi di Montemaggiore, a trap from which it is really hard to escape when wet, but otherwise a passage of unparalleled charm, for the calanchi themselves and thanks to the vast inclined plane of the vineyards lying down to the east of the passage, an epiphany! As a dirt road it also represents a very valid connection between the area of San Lorenzo in Collina, San Martino, Pradalbino and the Samoggia Valley between Stiore and Savigno, thanks to the path that, among the vineyards of the Botti winery, descends into that valley from the Church of Montemaggiore.

From the Sasso Marconi railway station we immediately take the path connecting with the Via degli Dei. We cross the Pliocene Contrafforte Reserve, an area of great geological and naturalistic interest, rich in marine fossils, witnesses of an ancient gulf present in this area in the Pliocene era (between 5 and 2 million years ago). The route then includes reaching the summit of Monte Adone (654 m), the latter appreciable for the view of the surroundings and for its geological peculiarity (Pliocene sandstones). From here we descend in the direction of Brento, a hamlet in the municipality of Monzuno, from which we continue along the paved road towards Monterumici. The area still has the remains of fortifications from the Gothic line. Once at the bus stop, wait for line 827 (Vado Stazione- Monzuno) which allows us to reach Monzuno by cutting off the last km of paved road.
