Riolunato

Few communities in Emilia-Romagna have a history as closely tied to the Apennine route between Modena and Tuscany as Riolunato. Set in the upper Scoltenna valley below Monte Cimone, this mountain municipality lies in the Frignano area, where chestnut woods and steep slopes shape daily life. The eighteenth-century Via Vandelli, commissioned by Duke Francesco III d’Este to link Modena with the Tyrrhenian coast, passes through Riolunato and recalls its role on a difficult cross-mountain passage. Today the town is also close to the Cimone winter-sports district, while summer brings walkers into the surrounding Apennines.
