Itinerary

Complesso Monumentale San Michele In Bosco

10 min

The Church of San Michele in Bosco is an imposing architectural complex comprising the church and adjacent former convent of the Olivetans.

It is placed in one of the most panoramic locations in the hills surrounding Bologna and its courtyard is a magnificent terrace overlooking the city and the plains as far as the Alpine chain.
Monumento ai Caduti di Sabbiuno

10 min

Sabbiuno War Memorial commemorates the execution of 53 Italian partisans by German forces, in two groups on December 14 and 23, 1944. The partisans were largely members of the Gruppi di Azione Patriottica (GAP) and the 63a Brigate Bolero from the communities of Anzola, Calderara di Reno, and Amola di Piano, north-east of Bologna; they were captured by anti-partisan forces in the Winter of 1944 and executed.
Santuario di Madonna di San Luca

10 min

The Sanctuary of San Luca, located on Colle della Guardia, has been the symbol of Bologna as well as a place of religious worship for centuries. It is connected to the city centre by a road that, starting from Porta Saragozza, unwinds for four kilometres with a portico that boasts over 600 archways and is the longest in the world. Together with the other city porticoes, it was included in UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2021.
