Voghenza was a Roman settlement called Vicus Aventinus or Vico Habentia, the administrative hub of vast imperial properties. Archaeological excavations have brought to light a burial and monumental area of some importance dating from the mid-1st century AD to the mid-3rd. The materials found consist of common ceramics (cups, mugs, lamps), glass and onyx unguentaria, gold and amber ornaments, now exhibited at the Museo Civico di Belriguardo. Among the 67 burials (inhumations and cremations), the large marble sarcophagus of Ulpia Pusinnica and two funerary enclosures with tombs marked by inscribed cippi stand out. Located just outside the town, the necropolis is not accessible for visits, but is still visible as a whole from Via Dante Alighieri. Visible only from the outside.

The museum, managed by the Historical Modelers Association, is the only one in the world that can boast total coverage of the branches of miniature reproduction. The route through the rooms resembles a miniature city; passing from the station to the port, from the airport to the square, there are hundreds of reproductions: legendary cars, historical figures, medieval villages, speed record cars, ships and planes from all eras. The Museum houses an extraordinary working model railway and an absolute rarity of antique modelling: an extraordinary reconstruction of the wedding between Alfonso I d'Este and Lucrezia Borgia. In addition to the seven exhibition rooms, the Museum has a large garden where you can sail, in the adjoining lake, with small radio-controlled vehicles, and offers a complete specialized library where you can consult volumes, videos and projects. www.museomodellismostorico.it +39 348 290 4655

The church of Voghenza was destroyed during the Second World War and, today rebuilt, is dedicated to San Leo, the miracle-working Saint of Montefeltro. Legend has it that on 14 February 1016, Emperor Henry II had to leave the sarcophagus containing the remains of the Saint here in Voghenza and which was originally supposed to be transported to Speyer, in Germany; the emperor had obtained these relics from the Pope, in exchange for the defeat inflicted on the Greeks and Saracens near Rome. More likely, the sarcophagus with the relics, still kept inside the church, remained here during one of the journeys that, in the Early Middle Ages, sacred relics were made to make, transported to villages and cities struck by natural disasters or plagues. The church also contains the lid of another sarcophagus, of the XII bishop of Voghenza, Mauricino (6th century). A flourishing center already in Roman times, its fortunes were linked to the key function of the Sandalo river for navigation, communications and trade between Ravenna and the Po Valley hinterland. It was the first episcopal seat in the Ferrara area with the Cathedral dedicated to S. Stefano. With the changing hydrographic and political situation and the transfer of the episcopal seat to S. Giorgio di Ferrara, it declined to the level of a parish, with a church dedicated to S. Leo since the 11th century. Until the beginning of the 17th century the church did not have a baptismal font.
