Medicina

Situated to the east of the Bolognese territory near the borders between Romagna and the Ferrarese territory, it takes its name from the Latin noun ‘medicina’ meaning ‘place where one is treated and cured’. The pre-Roman origin of the settlements in the territory is confirmed by archaeological remains, whereas the central position of Medicina in an agro-Roman centirone is confirmed both by the centurial mail still visible (the thistle and the axe meet in the middle of the historic centre near the civic Tower), as well as the various archaeological remains that have been gathered.

The Municipal Cloisters will host the ERF concert. This building dates from 16th century as the Convento dei Padri Carmelitani. Of the original remaining structure the door archway inside the cloister, the stairway, the upstairs corridors and the refectory, transformed into the Sala del Consiglio (Meeting room), are preserved.
