Borgo Tossignano

Built on the top of a hill, Tossignano dominates the valley and due to this strategic position in the thirteenth century an impressive fortress was built, of which considerable remains can be seen today. At the foot of the hill there is Borgo Tossignano built on the rocky ridge known as ‘Vena del gesso’, with its characteristic shine that gives it name of ‘moonstone’.

The concerts will be held in the splendid ruins of the Rocca di Tossignano, which gives a fine view over the Santerno valley, in the Church of San Girolamo with its neoclassical façade in the centre of Tossignano, and in the Romanesque Church of Riviera, a few kilometres before Borgo Tossignano. The delightful building has perfect acoustics and used to house a fine Madonna con Bambino by Bellini.
