Monte Sabbiuno, Mountain summit in Bologna, Italy

Monte Sabbiuno is a small summit of the lower Bolognese Apennines, in the southern edge of the municipality of Bologna, reaching 391 m above sea level. It stands higher than nearby reliefs such as Monte Samorrè, which tops out at 378 m. The top is about 9 km from the centre of Bologna, reached by via San Mamolo and its continuation via dei Colli, which near the mountain takes the name via di Sabbiuno.

In December 1944, Nazi-fascist forces carried out a massacre of partisans on Monte Sabbiuno. A monument now commemorates the victims, and annual commemorations are held at the site. Until World War II, a parish church dedicated to San Pietro stood nearby, already in poor condition and later destroyed in the conflict.

Every year the eccidio of December 1944 is commemorated at the monument on Monte Sabbiuno, near the hamlet of Sabbiuno di Monte. The name of the hamlet simply repeats that of the mountain. The ceremonies keep alive the memory of the partisans killed there by Nazi-fascist forces.

The summit is reached from Bologna by Via San Mamolo, continuing as Via dei Colli, which near the hill takes the name Via di Sabbiuno; the centre is about 9 km away. The same road runs on to the border between Sasso Marconi and Pianoro. Paths are unsurfaced, so wear walking shoes.

The summit stands at 391 m, higher than nearby Monte Samorrè at 378 m, and lies about 9 km from central Bologna. It can be reached directly from the city along Via San Mamolo and its continuation Via dei Colli, which near the hill takes the name Via di Sabbiuno.
