Dozza is a small but quite unique village, a few kilometers south of Bologna. Over the last 50 years it hosts the Biennial Exhibition of the Painted wall (Biennale del Muro Dipinto). Internationally renowned artists are invited to create their works using the walls of the village as canvases. Therefore, it was created over the years an open air gallery with more than 200 works. The effect is simply amazing!

From Grizzana Morandi to Rocchetta Mattei
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;)
