Sasso Marconi, Mountain town in Metropolitan City of Bologna, Italy
Located 17 kilometers south-southwest of Bologna, Sasso Marconi sits at an elevation of 128 meters where the Setta and Reno rivers meet.
The settlement, originally named Sasso Bolognese, received its current name in 1938 as a tribute to radio technology inventor Guglielmo Marconi.
The Marconi Museum and Mausoleum, situated in the inventor's former villa, presents exhibits documenting the development of radio communication technology.
The municipality encompasses nine districts, including Borgonuovo, Pontecchio Marconi, Fontana, Capital, Tignano-Roma, Rasiglio-Scopeto, Iano, Lagune, and Cinque Cerri.
The name Sasso derives from the Pliocenic rock formation Sasso della Glosina, which stands above the meeting point of two rivers.
