Every two years, the medieval hilltop
village of Dozza
invites contemporary artists to paint murals on the
exteriors of the town's homes and show art at the Biennale Muro
Dipinto. Even if
you miss the 2009 exhibition from September 17 to 20,
2009, the 15-mile ride southeast from Bologna
along Via
Emilia is well worth the
journey. Gaze at the incredible paintings from earlier shows, look out
over the peaceful landscape and visit Rocca Sforzesca.
Find the
castle's sometimes bloody history and 21 past Biennales
chronicled
upstairs. Down below, the restored cellars house the Enoteca Regionale
Emilia-Romagna.
There's no better place to sample local Albana,
Sangiovese and Lambrusco wines from more than 150 local
vineyards. For
more information, visit www.comune.dozza.bo.it or www.murodipinto.it
