Montese

Montese combines an Apennine hill-town setting with a weighty Second World War legacy in a way that reflects its position in the Upper Modenese Apennines. The town lies within Emilia-Romagna’s northern Apennine range, an upland region of woods, pastures and scattered settlements rather than the cities of the Po Valley. In April 1945, fighting at Montese formed part of the final Allied offensive against the German defensive system known as the Gothic Line; the U.S. 10th Mountain Division was among the forces involved. The Museo Storico di Montese documents this period and its impact on the local community. Browse additional webcams from the Modenese Apennines to extend your view of Emilia-Romagna.
