Torriana

The road that climbs from the valley up towards Torriana starts with a steep incline. On the left is Valmarecchia and on the right the valley traced by the River Uso. Montebello, Verucchio and the three towers of San Marino make the crown. In 12th century its castle extended over two hills on the top of which were two little forts with solid towers which constituted an intrepid defence system that dominated the two valleys. Its history is in fact strongly influenced by its geological nature, ideal for people to take refuge and perfect for troops as a place from which to control the valley.
This little pre-Apennine village on three humped hills was called ‘La Scorticata’, from Castrum Scortigatae, until 1930 and is mentioned in documents from 1144. ERF will bring its music to the very front of the Chiesa dell’Antico Borgo di Scorticata from where extraordinary views can be enjoyed.
