Trattoria da Vito

Trattoria da Vito was as it is now, nothing has changed.
The wooden tables, the casual service, the plentiful and somewhat wild dishes, the green curtains and the old sign.
The chairs, the tables, the napkins are the same, and if something has to change, Alessandro explains, 'everything is renewed while maintaining the style of yesteryear'. The Cyrenaica district is no longer what it once was, there are no longer any workers and it is full of students, who continue to come here.
Complicated by the genuine menu, with popular prices and plentiful dishes: tagliatelle with meat sauce, tortellini in broth, gramigna with sausage, bollito misto in winter.
You don't give in to the temptation to open yourself up to the contemporary, and that's fine here at Vito's, one of the last trattorias for nostalgics.

Osteria Brocaindosso

There are osterias more suited to drinking and those more suited to eating.
Osteria Broccaindosso is definitely of the second type.
The lively atmosphere is very osteria-like, even the narrow tables make you realise that you are not in a restaurant. In short, a good option if you like to eat in a place full of life and personality.
The osteria is known for its starters and desserts, both of which are plentiful but quite simple, but the first course was the one I liked best.

Dozza Imolese

Moving on to the Imola area, you will stop in Dozza. The pretty village, perched on a hill, the same on which the Rocca Sforzesca stands majestically, has a population of just 1,000.
Animating the streets are the many characters engraved on the walls, which will make you find yourself in a sort of museum, an open-air art gallery: there are more than 100 paintings on the houses and shops. These will accompany your walk along the lanes of the small village, the fruit of the inventiveness of extraordinary artists who, in the 1960s, allowed themselves to be inspired, finding on the walls of the houses the canvas to fill with their own mastery.

This varied and rich heritage has given rise to the Biennale del Muro Dipinto, now in its 28th edition, a historic painting event that will stimulate your photographer's eye.

La Rocchetta: the charm of 160 years of history returned to the public

The castle known as 'Rocchetta Mattei' owes its name to Count Cesare Mattei (1809-1896), who had it built on the ruins of an ancient building dating back to the 13th century, the Rocca di Savignano,

The structure of the castle was modified several times by the count during his lifetime and by his heirs, making it a labyrinth of towers, monumental staircases, reception rooms and private rooms that recall different styles: from neo-medieval to neo-Renaissance, from Moorish to Art Nouveau.

La Scola

La Scola, a small village in the hills of Bologna, boasts a thousand-year history dating back to the 6th century AD, when the territory was under the control of the Lombards, right on the border with the Exarchate of Ravenna. Used for defensive purposes until the Middle Ages, the village is in an excellent state of preservation: although the first buildings date back to the 13th century, they are all still completely intact. 

The main points of interest include the entrance arch, one of the points most photographed by visitors, the 1616 Oratory of San Pietro, once the hub of the village's religious and social life, and Casa Parisi in clear Tuscan style, which belonged to the most important family in the area. 

Given its small size, the village lends itself easily to a pleasant walk, during which you may come across the monumental cypress tree over 700 years old. No less than 25 metres tall, it has boasted the title of 'national alborean monument' since 2006. Its longevity is also due to the special climate of the village with unusually high temperatures even in winter. 

The village, which has been subject to urban and architectural restrictions since the 1970s, is freely accessible all year round, but the best time to visit is from April to October, also due to the absence of fog on the road.
