Frassinoro

Frassinoro occupies a high ridge in the Modenese Apennines of Emilia-Romagna. At around 1,130 metres above sea level, this small mountain centre stands above the upper Dolo valley, where woodland and pasture shape the border country between Modena and Tuscany. Its identity remains closely linked to the Benedictine Abbey of Frassinoro, founded in 1071 by Beatrice of Lorraine and Matilda of Canossa; the monastery was an important medieval religious institution in these mountains. Roads from the town lead through scattered hamlets and the quiet uplands of the Apennines. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Modenese Apennines.
