Monte Vignola

Monte Vignola is a mountain summit in the Province of Bologna rising to 817 meters above sea level. It forms part of the central Apennines within Valsamoggia territory, creating a notable landmark in the landscape between two major valleys.

The mountain occupies a strategic position between the Lavino and Reno valleys, shaping settlement patterns and trade routes for centuries. This location made it a crucial reference point in the historical development of the surrounding area.

Traditional mountain farming practices continue on Monte Vignola's slopes, maintaining agricultural techniques passed down through generations of local families.

Hikers can reach the mountain via the CAI trail 138, which connects multiple locations in the surrounding area. The path also provides access to nearby Monte Castellaccio and allows exploration of this Apennine region.

The summit serves as a water source for several streams, including Rio del Piantone on its eastern slope and the main springs feeding the Lavino torrent to the west. These natural springs shape the water systems of the surrounding valleys.
