The villagers resorted to prayers to get through the year with the very few harvests they managed to obtain, and turned to the Madonna del Presidio, asking to be preserved from other calamities of the kind in the future, the following year they made the procession and arrived in the most affected place they stopped and decided to build an oratory, which ten years later a brotherhood was created, called del Presidio. The group was made up of thirty people, the church was opened to the public on October 15, 1684, that day the ceramic, which was hanging from a pillar, with the depiction of the Blessed Virgin was brought inside the structure.

Villa Vezzano was the birthplace of the famous Naldi family. The Naldi, who came to Italy with Emperor Otto III (996), were appointed lords of Vezzano, a fortified place between Castelbolognese and Brisighella where they built a castle. The Naldi family, who then moved to Brisighella, became famous in the 16th and 17th centuries for their talent for the art of warfare, which they demonstrated by offering themselves to the various princes. Today, only a few traces of the old castle remain; it stood on a plateau overlooking the Sintria stream. Worth mentioning is the small church of Villa Vezzano or San Giorgio in Vezzano, as the small village is also called, which dates back to 1296. At Villa Vezzano it is possible to admire the remains of one of the many towers built in the 15th century for defensive purposes: the Torre del Marino. Next to the tower there is today a beautiful farmhouse of the same name where you can stay and taste typical products.

The Rocca di Riolo was built in its first nucleus in 1388 by the Bolognese government: a square tower to defend the village, only four meters high on each side, with wooden floors connected by retractable stairs. The entrance was located between the first and second floors, so that the warriors could take shelter inside for protection. During the 15th century, under the government of the lords of Manfredi, the fortress was adapted to new military strategies: for this reason, the construction of a city wall and round towers that allowed a greater defense in case of attacks using bombardments. In 1474, Riolo was the capital of the Senio Valley. Carlo II Manfredi had the keep re-clad on all sides, built masonry stairs and dug a well on the ground floor of the keep. In 1478, Riolo became part of the government of Riario Sforza. The family made minor adjustments: holes in the moat, a turret and an emergency hatch. In 1504 Riolo fell into the hands of the Papal States through Giovanni Sassatelli.

The open-air museum dedicated to Angelo Biancini in Castel Bolognese shows a harmonious integration of art and landscape. Since 1995, the historic centre of the village has been home to around twenty sculptures and panels by Biancini, made of bronze, metal, cement and glazed ceramics. These works, spread out over streets, squares and avenues, illustrate Biancini's artistic evolution from the 1930s until his death in 19881. Some of the most notable works are “La mondina romagnola” and “Madre in attesa” (both 1973), “La madre del legionario” (1935), “Le donne eroiche” (1961), “Via Crucis” (1977) and “Albero della vita” (1983). In addition to the outdoor artworks, there are also works by Biancini in the church of San Francesco, the retirement home, the Pascoli secondary school and the hospital.
