Riolunato, a town in the Frignano territory, one
of the most beautiful places in the whole Apennine range, is situated in
a rather small basin protected by the encircling arm of rugged mountain
peaks: Mt Cimone, Mt Cantiere and Cento Croci.
The medieval town centre reflects the glorious
past of this Apennine district which witnessed the rise and fall of the
notorious Marquis Obizzo of Montegarullo in the history of Frignano.
Next to the town the fast
flowing rivers Scoltenna and Rio di Castello are found crossed by ancient
bridges like the Fola bridge on the road to Pievepelago and the Ponte della
Luna leading to the small village
of Groppo.
