Brisighella is a lively town, steeped in tradition and with some incredibly beautiful architecture and scenery. It is also the recipient of some of the most prestigious awards in Italy (Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, Città Slow, Orange Flag of the Italian Touring Club), recognition of its excellence and its quality of life.

Arte, storia e architettura fuse in maniera originale attraverso lo sviluppo del centro storico in un dedalo di antiche viuzze, tratti di cinta muraria e scale scolpite nel gesso.

The town gradually grew in size and importance, thanks to a number of factors: its position along the road that ran along the bottom of the Lamone Valley, which was ideal for trade; the presence of two fortifications (the fortress and the tower); the abundance of gypsum, a highly prized building material which the locals could trade.
