Mural of the Partisan Courier of Tebano

Highlight • Monument

The mural was created by the students of class 5BA of the Torricelli-Ballardini Art High School in Faenza, it depicts the figure of a young partisan courier on a bicycle against the backdrop of the Faenza hills, accompanied by the words of Bella Ciao, a symbol of memory and resistance. The choice of Tebano is not accidental. It was in this hamlet, together with nearby Pergola, that some of the darkest pages of the Second World War took place, being on the Gothic Line, gripped in the grip of war.

Sanctuary of Our Lady of Monticino

Highlight • Religious Site

Sanctuary of Monticino: stands on the third hill of Brisighella. It was built 1758-59 to replace an existing building. It houses a sacred terracotta image depicting the Madonna and Child dating back to 1626. The small image represents the half-figure Virgin, dressed in a reddish tunic, surrounded by a white band. A dark green coat covers her head. The interior of the sanctuary, with a single nave, is decorated with elegant pilasters with Ionic capitals. The main altar is covered with precious marble. In the apse there are frescoes by the Faenza painter Savino Lega (Faenza, 1813-1889) [12]. The facade was significantly enlarged in 1926 on a project by Edoardo Collamarini.
