Heading towards north, after a visit to a friend’s house near Monzuno, we decided to stay a little longer in the area and to visit Grizzana Morandi and the surrounding places. As it often happens, you never know what surprises are around the corner! In our case it was the Rocchetta Mattei. Hard to believe that this surrealistic castle is just a few kilometers from Bologna!

Brisighella
Brisighella, just a few kilometers from Riolo Terme, is certainly more interesting and consequently more popular among tourists, although it is common secret among travelers that, when a place is over-rated as a tourist destination, it is already too late to visit it and to truly enjoy it. Of course one can visit these places off season trying to avoid festivals and various celebrations and thematic markets … Unless this is just what he is looking for;)
Riolo Terme
If you are in the surrounding area of Faenza, this is a place that deserves to be visited. Riolo Terme usually remains in the shadow of the most famous nearby Brisighella, maybe because it doesn’t have that much to offer to the tourists. Nevertheless it is a nice fortified village where you can spend a pleasant half-day, plus the fact that it is also an excellent choice and a quiet place to spend a night.
