Crevalcore

Crevalcore is a municipal center in the Metropolitan City of Bologna located about 30 kilometers northwest of the capital along the Verona railway line. The territory encompasses seven districts spread across flat land at a low elevation, forming a network of residential and agricultural areas.

The town's central layout developed during the 18th and 19th centuries with characteristic buildings from those eras. A major earthquake in 2012 caused significant structural damage that prompted widespread restoration efforts across the community.

The Leo Preti Puppet Museum displays hand-carved puppets and marionettes from the 20th century that tell stories from different periods. Visitors can see the costumes and painted backdrops that performers used in their shows.

The territory spreads across seven districts connected by local roads and public transportation options that are easy to navigate. It is best explored by car or using local bus services to travel between the different neighborhoods and districts.

The former basins of an old sugar factory in Beni Comunali have become a natural habitat where storks have built their nests for over a decade. This transformation of abandoned industrial land into a wildlife refuge shows how nature reclaims human structures.
