Palazzuolo sul Senio

Though it belongs to Tuscany, Palazzuolo sul Senio lies on the Romagna side of the Apennines, in the upper Senio valley among steep wooded slopes. The Ubaldini ruled here until Florence took over in 1362, and their palace, the Palazzo dei Capitani, now holds the village museums. Paved lanes and stone houses make a compact centre, and festivals celebrate tortelli, wild boar and chestnuts.
