Few towns in Emilia-Romagna have a history as closely tied to Etruscan and Celtic settlement as Monterenzio. Set in the wooded Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, the municipality follows the upper Savena valley southeast of Bologna, where small hamlets and cultivated slopes break up the forested terrain. Nearby Monte Bibele is an important archaeological area, known for an Etruscan-Celtic settlement and necropolis. Finds from the site are presented at Monterenzio’s Luigi Fantini Archaeological Museum, connecting the present-day community with the ancient peoples who lived in these hills.
