Information about Villa Minozzo

The largest municipality in the region stretching from the Secchio valley to the top of Mount Cusna which at 2121 meters is the highest peak in the Apennines. Documents start to mention Villa Minozzo in the 9th Century and over the centuries it passed from the hands of one noble family to another.
The municipality has many facets worth noting: the church at Minozzo is one of the oldest in the municipality, the hamlets of Civago, Farneta, Febbio, Roncopianigi and Monteorsaro are dedicated to both winter and summer tourism, due largely to the resorts at Febbio and Civago and the opportunities for excursions to the Abetina Reale, where your journey can be broken by eating lunch at the wonderful restaurant there. Abetina Reale also provides camping facilities next to a waterfall which, in the summer, is popular for obvious reasons. At Gova the arched Cadignano bridge dates from the 17th century, while the mountain refuge of Sig Battisti is an unique experience in itself.
At a lower level the Triassic Secchio valley is a rich environment of caves, thermal springs, such as those found at Poiano and lush grazing which is why the area is at the very heart of Parmesan cheese production. The municipality is made up of four valleys: the Dolo, Asta, Lucola and Rio Re’s, the unpolluted environments of these valleys, the rich diversity of the flora and fauna and the snow capped mountains makes this a first class location for people who enjoy active tourism.
