Dozza, nested among rolling hills, is a hidden gem: it is an open air gallery of contemporary art: walls are covered with more than 100 paintings made by Italian and foreign artists from 1960 to date, during the "Muro Dipinto" (Painted Wall) Biennial Festival held in the month of September. Murals are very colourful and topics are diversified: grape harvest and farming scenes, children playing with kites, giant angels, elves and dragons… Then, I'll be very glad to show you the imposing Sforza Castle located in the highest part of the village. Dating back to 1250 and rebuilt by Caterina Sforza who ruled over these lands at the end of the 15th cent. , later on it became the residence of the Malvezzi-Campeggi noble family until 1960. Figure out how they lived here! The castle features nicely decorated rooms, a laundry, a fully-equipped kitchen, bedrooms. Looking for a thrilling experience too? Here you'll find prisons, a torture chamber, the razor well (a trapdoor) and a full-sized dragon hidden in a tower.
Dozza is 35 km away (approx. a 40 minute drive). A driver with a private car will meet you at your hotel and drive you to Dozza where I will meet you. Walking tour with in-depth visit of Dozza: a stroll along its narrow cobbled street to admire wall paintings, the Castle and (if open) the Enoteca Regionale dell'Emilia-Romagna, located in the underground vaults of the Castle, where the best regional wines can be purchased and tasted (on request, I can arrange a wine tasting with a sommelier). Then, I will leave you with the driver who will bring you back to your accommodation in Bologna. On request, I can customize this experience to fulfil your requirements. For example, it can be extended to a full-day tour that includes lunch or a taste of local products (i. e. piadina flatbread with local cured meats and "squacquerone", a fresh cow's milk cheese, and a glass of wine) or/and a cooking class followed by a light lunch in a restaurant a few km away from Dozza.
