Castel del Rio

Castel del Rio is best known in Emilia-Romagna for the Marrone di Castel del Rio, chestnuts protected by the IGP designation. The small town lies in the upper Santerno valley, in the Apennines south-west of Bologna, where chestnut groves have long shaped farming and local cooking. Its landmark is Ponte Alidosi, a late-15th-century stone bridge with a single high arch across the Santerno; it was commissioned by the Alidosi family, who once ruled this area. In autumn, the chestnut harvest gives a practical focus to local food traditions, from roasted marroni to seasonal dishes.
