Bolognese Apennines

The Bolognese Apennines (Appennino bolognese) are the part of the Apennine Mountains associated with Bologna and the Metropolitan City of Bologna, in Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy. They form part of the northern slope of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, descending from the watershed with Tuscany toward Bologna and the Po Valley. Their highest summit is Corno alle Scale, at 1,945 metres above sea level. The term is not used with a single fixed boundary. In a narrow sense, it refers to the mountain and upper hill valleys south of Bologna, especially the Reno, Setta, Savena, Sambro (river) and Idice valleys. In wider tourist and development contexts, it may also include foothill areas and eastern valleys connected with the Santerno and Sillaro basins. The area includes high Apennine ridges, middle mountain valleys, lower hills, protected natural areas, historical routes, archaeological sites, rural landscapes and cultural landmarks. These include the regional park around Corno alle Scale, the Regional Park of Suviana and Brasimone Lakes, the Historical Park of Monte Sole, the Gessi Bolognesi and Calanchi dell'Abbadessa Regional Park, the Contrafforte Pliocenico Nature Reserve, the Etruscan city of Kainua at Marzabotto, the Etrusco-Celtic site of Monte Bibele, the Rocchetta Mattei, Montovolo, Casa Morandi at Campiaro, the church of Santa Maria Assunta at Riola designed by Al
