A very small village now abandoned. Despite this however, if you arrive hungry just below the bell tower you will find an excellent inn, ideal for a good hot, typical and homemade meal!

nice village, nothing else to report

Castello di Vignola is an imposing fortress built in the 15th century on top of a hill overlooking the city of Vignola. The castle is famous for its watchtower, which offers a panoramic view of the Emilian plain, and for its Italian garden.

The fortified village of Castello di Serravalle has ancient origins, it was formed to defend the exarchate of Ravenna against the barbarian invasions. It was then razed to the ground by the Lombards in the eighth century and was rebuilt in the Middle Ages on the Roman foundations. In the 19th century he even gave asylum to Charlemagne, on his way to Rome. Until 1109 it was part of the fiefdom of Matilde di Canossa and was then bitterly disputed between the Ghibelline Modena and the Guelph Bologna in the historic struggle between the 2 cities. ... The castle doesn't lack the traditional ghost story either. In fact, it is said that the souls of the cruel Boccadiferro's wives still wander in the fortress. On the nights of May their ghosts roam the village spreading a mysterious perfume while in the tower of the castle echo the laments of Boccadiferro himself who was finally killed by his thirteenth wife.

It is well preserved, but it is really tiny: a dozen buildings in all, crossed by a road. I was a little disappointed while I thoroughly enjoyed Savignano sul Panaro, nearby.

Beautiful 1300 village on the Bolognese hills

Suggestive route that leads near the 3 crosses, the very challenging route not recommended for beginners

Dirt road downhill, stop and visit the church of Denzano and its small village.
