Zola Predosa

Zola Predosa is a municipality west of Bologna covering roughly 37 square kilometers at an elevation of 74 meters. The settlement spreads across gentle terrain with residential areas, agricultural zones, and connecting roads that link the center to outlying areas.

The area played a strategic role in resistance activities during World War II, for which it later received the Medal of Military Valour. This chapter remains part of local memory and identity.

The town celebrates its patron Saint Nicholas on December 6 with local producers setting up stands and communal meals in the streets. These festivities show how residents maintain their traditions and express their connection to the place.

Regular bus connections and road links connect the municipality directly to Bologna, making daily trips and visits straightforward. Most locations within it are easily reachable by public transit or car.

Local farmers grow specific grape and vegetable varieties that supply food processing plants across the region. This connection to food production shapes the economy and rural character of the area.
