Emilia-Romagna: Brisighella
Medieval
Brisighella lies in the Val Lamone (at the foot of the
Appennine Mountains) — a charming hill town. You’ll
enjoy the views. The town is very pretty (arcaded streets) and
is a "spa" town. The major sight is the 14th
century Rocca which houses the Museo della Civiltà
Contadina/Museo di Lavoro Contadino (farming museum). The
Torre dell’Orologio is a 13th century clock
tower with the Museo del Tempo (Time Museum — rather
interesting when you think about it). Drop in on the lovely Piazza
Marconi and Piazza Carducci for an enjoyable respite
— drink in your surroundings. Enjoy the Fontana Vecchia.
The Pieve di San Giovanni in Ottavo/Pieve Tho has
some fine frescoes and faience towers (Romanesque - lovely). Stop
in at the Santuraio del Monticino, La Collegiata
(17th century church), the Convento dell’Osservanza
and the Chiesa di San Francesco e di S. Croce. And there’s
more as you wander…..villas, more churches and the beauty
of a fine small town……
