Castelvetro di Modena

Lambrusco Grasparossa is the wine of these hills between Modena and Bologna, and each September growers bring it to the main square for the Sagra dell'Uva. That square, Piazza Roma, hosts the Dama Vivente, a game of draughts with living pieces already staged when Torquato Tasso stayed in 1564. Six medieval towers rise over the village, among them a clock tower that leans.

Highlights

• The leaning Torre dell'Orologio, with a sundial and clock on every side
• Torre delle Prigioni, with prisoners' graffiti and views over the Po plain
• The castle of Levizzano Rangone, in the hills nearby
• The regional wine library, with Lambrusco Grasparossa and traditional balsamic vinegar (IT)
• Mercurdo, a festival of the absurd held every other June
