Montefiorino is best known within Emilia-Romagna for the Rocca di Montefiorino, the medieval fortress that dominates its historic centre. Set in the Modenese Apennines, the town stands between the valleys of the Dolo and Dragone streams, in a wooded part of the upper Secchia basin. The fortress is closely associated with the Republic of Montefiorino, a partisan-controlled territory established here during the summer of 1944. Its stone lanes and compact hilltop core reflect the character of communities south of Modena, where roads follow ridges and stream valleys rather than the Po Plain.
