Castiglione dei Pepoli, Italian comune
Castiglione dei Pepoli is a commune in the Metropolitan City of Bologna in Emilia-Romagna. The village sits in the northern Apennines and spreads across rolling hillsides dotted with forests, meadows, and traditional stone buildings nestled into the landscape.
The settlement emerged in the Middle Ages under the rule of the Pepoli family, a powerful noble house from Bologna whose name remains in the village's title today. The community developed as a fortified position in the mountainous region and maintained its character through the centuries.
The village is reached by mountain roads that wind through the Apennines with curves and elevation changes. It works best for visitors who enjoy hiking or exploring nature in this hillside region.
