San Giovanni in Persiceto

San Giovanni in Persiceto features a medieval center with concentric streets surrounding the main square, where the Collegiate Church stands at 21 meters elevation.

The settlement emerged during the Roman era and evolved into a duchy in 727 AD under Lombard King Liutprand, who established the village as Borgo Rotondo.

The central Piazzetta Betlemme displays multicolored trompe l'oeil artwork created by set designer Gino Pellegrini, representing local artistic expressions.

Regular train services connect the town to Bologna along the Verona-Bologna railway line, making it accessible for visitors exploring the Emilia-Romagna region.

The Agricultural Attendance Institute Partecipanza maintains a system of shared land use, distributing common territories among residents every nine years.
