Savignano sul Rubicone

Savignano sul Rubicone is a municipality in Emilia-Romagna located on flat terrain near the Fiumicino River. The town sits within the province of Forlì-Cesena and serves as a residential community for its inhabitants.

The settlement was known as Sabinianum during Roman times, reflecting its ancient roots in the region. The name was changed in modern times to emphasize its connection to the Fiumicino River, which scholars identified as the probable location of the ancient Rubicon.

The Festa di Santa Lucia is a major local celebration where residents gather to display regional crafts, traditional food specialties, and organize entertainment performances. This event gives visitors a direct sense of community identity and local traditions.

The town is easy to navigate due to its flat terrain and straightforward layout typical of small Italian municipalities. Basic local services and facilities are accessible throughout the community for visitors and residents alike.

The town deliberately changed its name from Savignano di Romagna to Savignano sul Rubicone to highlight its connection to the river that Julius Caesar crossed. This renaming publicly acknowledges the historical significance of the waterway and ties the community's identity to an ancient event.
