From the cycle path along the Reno you can go up the state road 64 (Bologna - Pistoia) and access the archaeological area of the ancient Etruscan city of Pian di Misano - Marzabotto (Kainua). The archaeological area, although partly lost due to the erosion of the part on which the city was founded, remains unique in its kind because it has perfectly preserved the traces of its plan.

Canovella footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

After a nice walk along the Rhine river, cross the cycle-pedestrian bridge to get to the other side, from where you enter the Monte Sole historical park. The passage deserves a photo.

Marzabotto Massacre Memorial

Highlight • Monument

With Marzabotto massacre, or Monte Sole massacre, we mean the set of brutal massacres carried out by the Nazi troops between 29 September and 5 October 1944, in the context of the mopping-up operation directed against the Partisan Brigade Stella Rossa, which fought against the Nazi-fascist forces in the territories between Marzabotto, Monzuno, Grizzana Morandi and neighboring municipalities.

It is one of the most serious war crimes against the civilian population perpetrated by the German armed forces in Western Europe during the Second World War.
