The Strada della Lavanda transversally crosses the Senio valley at the height of Casola Valsenio, creating a landscape contrast that varies between chalk, gullies, the green of nature, the brooms and the color spots of the lavender in bloom.
This area can be defined as the Little Italian Provence precisely due to the close link with medicinal plants, among which, as we said, lavender excels.

Passo Carnevale

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Passo Carnevale is one of the Apennine passes that crosses the Upper Mugello. Starting from Marradi, the first four very long kilometers develop on the edge of the narrow valley of the Collecchio ditch, an endless series of curves and counter-curves with a gradient that oscillates continuously between 8 and 10%. From Palazzuolo sul Senio, the climb is fairly constant: apart from a couple of very short stretches, it always remains on 6/7%.

Sanctuary of Our Lady of Monticino

Highlight • Religious Site

Sanctuary of Monticino: stands on the third hill of Brisighella. It was built 1758-59 to replace an existing building. It houses a sacred terracotta image depicting the Madonna and Child dating back to 1626. The small image represents the half-figure Virgin, dressed in a reddish tunic, surrounded by a white band. A dark green coat covers her head. The interior of the sanctuary, with a single nave, is decorated with elegant pilasters with Ionic capitals. The main altar is covered with precious marble. In the apse there are frescoes by the Faenza painter Savino Lega (Faenza, 1813-1889) [12]. The facade was significantly enlarged in 1926 on a project by Edoardo Collamarini.
