MONTEACUTO DELLE ALPI, AN ANCIENT MEDIEVAL VILLAGE IN THE HEART OF THE BOLOGNESE APENNINES

Perched at about 915 m in the Apennines near Bologna, Monteacuto delle Alpi is a beautifully preserved medieval village rising above the Silla and Baricello streams.  Its narrow stone-paved alleys, historic architecture and the Church of San Nicolò—housing works by Pietro Faccini and Andrea Brustolon—reflect a rich past of trade between Emilia and Tuscany.  Surrounded by ancient chestnut woods, the village offers visitors a peaceful escape into nature and heritage, with sweeping views and authentic atmosphere.
