Giovannina Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Giovannina castle (or villa) is located on the border between the municipalities of Cento and San Giovanni in Persiceto. It owes its name to the rich benefactor who wanted its construction and today ceremonies, weddings and conferences are held there. Inside, there are numerous rooms frescoed at the beginning of the seventeenth century by Guercino, a painter born in Cento.

Bridge over the Lavino Stream (Ciclovia del Sole)

Highlight • Bridge

The Ciclovia del Sole is a cycle route that crosses the Bolognese plain, connecting it to the rest of Europe as part of the European EuroVelo7 project, which aims to connect the northernmost point of Europe, North Cape, with Malta, the southernmost point . The part of the cycle route that winds north from Bologna into the heart of the Po Valley follows the former Verona-Bologna railway, fitting in a scenic manner within the rural landscape of these places. The fact that it was a railway line is quite evident, especially in some sections, such as this bridge over the Lavino stream.

Start of Ciclovia del Sole at Osteria Nuova

Highlight • Cycleway

Start of the new section Eurovelo 7, Ciclovia del Sole, which leads from Osteria Nuova to Mirandola.
You can get there from the south in 2 ways:
- Regional train to the nearby Osteria Nuova station
- Partially cycle path that starts in Bologna from the Borgo Panigale district and passes through the Calderara di Reno (Be careful not to take the very dangerous Persicetana road, but follow the cycle path).
