Bertinoro, Medieval hilltop commune in Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
Located on Mount Cesubeo, Bertinoro stands at 220 meters elevation, offering views that extend from the Apennine mountains to the Adriatic Sea.
The fortress dates back to the year 1000 and served as temporary residence for Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 1177 before becoming a bishop's seat in 1584.
The Column of Rings in the main square features twelve metal circles, each linked to a noble family that would host travelers according to medieval custom.
The town operates a University Residential Centre within its fortress, which includes conference facilities, accommodations, and the Interreligious Museum.
The annual Hospitality Festival in September continues the medieval tradition where families welcome visitors who tie messages to the Column's rings.
