Fiumalbo

Look closely at Fiumalbo's old walls and you will spot margolfe, carved stone heads set into the masonry. The village sits in a wide basin of the high Modenese Apennines, where two streams meet below Monte Cimone and the Tuscan border, and it draws visitors in both summer and winter. Its main square holds the parish church and the churches of two confraternities, the Whites and the Reds.
