Balze

Among Emilia-Romagna’s settlements, Balze stands out for its position beneath Monte Fumaiolo, close to the traditionally recognised source of the Tiber. This small Apennine locality lies in the municipality of Verghereto, amid wooded uplands near the regional border with Tuscany. A monument marks the spring on Monte Fumaiolo from which the river begins its long course through central Italy, passing Rome before reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea. The area’s identity is tied to mountain roads, forests and the headwaters of one of Italy’s most consequential rivers.
