Palazzuolo sul Senio

Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia

Though it belongs to Tuscany, Palazzuolo sul Senio lies on the Romagna side of the Apennines, in the upper Senio valley among steep wooded slopes. The Ubaldini ruled here until Florence took over in 1362, and their palace, the Palazzo dei Capitani, now holds the village museums. Paved lanes and stone houses make a compact centre, and festivals celebrate tortelli, wild boar and chestnuts.

Highlights

  • Museo delle genti di montagna, on the life and traditions of Apennine people
  • Sagra del marrone e dei frutti del sottobosco, every Sunday in October
  • Santuario della Madonna della Neve at Quadalto, enlarged in the 17th century
  • Badia di Susinana, where Maghinardo Pagani, named by Dante, is buried
  • A short walk to the Cascata dell'Abbraccio waterfall
