An area extending along the banks of the River Panaro, Savignano’s historic and cultural heritage can be traced back to prehistoric times; the Venus statue, the museum of the elephant, and the medieval hamlet all testify to this culture.

There are many reasons for visiting Savignano, from the sports festival (Festa dello Sport) to the national equestrian competition (Gara Nazionale Equestre), the theatre season and the Christmas markets, the Battle for the “Contrari” Sword (Lotta per la Spada dei Contrari) in September and the museums dedicated to the Venus statue (Museo della Venere) and the elephant (Museo dell'Elefante).

There are many facilities for sports enthusiasts - the recently constructed cycle path from Savignano sul Panaro to Modena, more than 30km long, the Percorso Sole (Sun Trail) along the River Panaro, the sports centre just 300 metres away, sports fishing lakes and an Olympic swimming pool.

In the old hamlet, Francesca and Guido welcome you into their home, a recently restructured medieval tower, with two bright and comfortable rooms with air conditioning and TV, private bathroom for guests’ use. Enjoy breakfast in the garden, in the shade of luxuriant cherry and peach trees.

Savignano is also ideal for those who need to travel to Bologna and Modena or for visits to the nearby trade fairs. It is located approximately 12 miles from both cities. There are very good transport links taking you to Bologna central railway station via a train service in 30 minutes. The industrial areas of Sassuolo, where ceramic is manufactured and Carpi, famous for its textiles are also within easy reach.
