Dozza Painted Walls (Muro Dipinto)

Highlight • Monument

In Dozza, art becomes the urban landscape and furnishes the walls of the houses, the streets and the squares, flooding every corner with light and different styles and opening up to bursts of sudden colours.
It is a real open-air museum, where you can admire over a hundred works created by prestigious names in contemporary art.
Inside the fortress are preserved the frescoes and sketches of the works on the wall exhibited in the Study and Documentation Center of the Painted Wall.

Mural dedicated to Luciano Pezzi and Fausto Coppi (Dozza)

Highlight • Monument

In a municipality full of splendid painted walls, a tribute to the favorite sport in these parts could not be missing: cycling. On the wall of a house, Fausto Coppi, the Campionissimo, and Luciano Pezzi, ex partisan, road cyclist and Italian sports manager are depicted. Known for being Marco Pantani's mentor and friend, Pezzi was a good professional in the 1950s. In his last years, Pezzi lived in Dozza, where a youth race is still held in his memory.
