Molinella (BO) - Emilia Romagna

The name derives from the many water "mills" which in the past rose along the ancient course of the Idice. It seems that the mills could grind both when the water went down towards the Po di Primaro and when it went up due to its floods... #tuttitaly

Position📍

Molinella is located on the northern border of Bologna, at the gates of the Po delta park. The name derives from the many water mills that once stood along the ancient course of the Idice Stream.

In the historic center, we can admire the Tower of Santo Stefano, which remains the ancient castle built by the Bolognese to defend the borders towards Ferrara.

Molinella has chosen Street Art to redevelop many public

and private buildings; the railway station is an open-air urban tunnel.

Do not miss the fifteenth-century village of Selva Malvezzi, which still retains the original appearance of a feudal complex.

Gastronomy

The delicious tagliatelle cake was born in Molinella in the 18th century.
