San Lazzaro di Savena, Commune in Metropolitan City of Bologna, Italy.

Located 6 kilometers from Bologna's center, San Lazzaro di Savena extends across flatlands and foothills with three waterways: Zena creek, Idice, and Savena river.

The settlement transformed from a medieval leprosarium into an autonomous municipality in 1827 through the efforts of Carlo Berti Pichat.

The Luigi Donini Museum presents extensive prehistoric artifacts, documenting human settlements from the Stone Age through the Villanovian civilization.

The town connects to Bologna through multiple transportation options and maintains essential services including schools, medical facilities, and commercial centers.

The Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi encompasses 50 interconnected caves stretching over 6 kilometers, formed by natural karst processes in chalky rock formations.
