Nonantola, Medieval commune in Province of Modena, Italy
Located in the Po Valley at 20 meters above sea level, Nonantola extends across fertile agricultural lands 10 kilometers from the city of Modena.
The Benedictine monastery, established by the Lombards in 752, transformed Nonantola into a significant religious center during the High Middle Ages period.
The Abbey of San Sylvester, dating from the 12th century, features Romanesque architecture and contains important medieval manuscripts in its historical archives.
The municipality maintains direct transportation connections to Modena and Ferrara, serving as a regional hub for agricultural production and industrial activities.
During World War II, the town protected 73 Jewish children and helped their escape to Switzerland, earning the War Cross for Military Valour.
