Is one of the
main town of the mountainous western region near Modena, facing
Reggio and the Secchia valley, called Frignano. Lying on the
Matilde's way, Montefiorino is dominated by the powerful medioeval
tower. Another monumental attraction dating to the Middle Ages
is the charming tower of Poggio, while the small chapel of the
Zerbini's oratory is more recent. The most meaningful monument
of the area is the romanic parish of Rubbiano, very well preserved
and not far from the centre. Montefiorino is also famous for
being the heart of the first Repubblic organised by Partisans
during World War II : the memory of those days is still alive
in the local Museum of the Repubblic. From a naturalistic point
of view the area is also very attractive: the rivers Dolo e
Dragone cross all the region and even if the hills are not higher
than 800 metres the Apennines are closer and generous of woods
and flowery oasis. We suggest you a visit to the XVI century
tower houses of Vitriola.
