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.

The top of Mount Calvo is... bald, and this allows the view to sweep wide and caress with the eyes the ridges that descend towards the Val di Zena.

The sanctuary stands in a wonderful position about 20 km from Loiano on a rocky spur (638 meters high) overlooking the Idice and Zena valleys. Surrounded by a beautiful woodland where in the days of the festival the ancient one takes place. Procession of the Wood, the place is known everywhere as Monte delle Formiche for a curious natural phenomenon that has occurred once a year since time immemorial: the migration to this peak of a variety of winged ants (Mirmyca Scabrinodis) which in September they come in swarms from the center of Europe to complete their nuptial flight. https://www.montedelleformiche.it/santuario-monte-delle-formiche
