Pievepelago

Pievepelago has served as a mountain parish centre in the Modenese Apennines since the Middle Ages. Set in the upper Scoltenna valley, the town is surrounded by wooded ridges rising towards the Tuscan–Emilian Apennine crest and Monte Cimone. Its compact centre anchors a working mountain community, with routes for walking, cycling and winter outings extending into the surrounding valleys. In the municipal hamlet of Roccapelago, the Museum of Mummies presents naturally preserved human remains recovered from a church crypt, alongside evidence of the settlement’s fortified past.
