SUL RUBICONE
Belongs to the
province of Forlì Cesena. It has a

The Rubicon (in Italian
Rubicone) is an ancient
Latin name for a small
river in Romagna. During
Roman times it flowed
into the Adriatic sea
between Ariminium and
Caesena. The river was
considered to mark the
boundary between the
Roman province of
Cisalpine Gaul to the
north and Italy proper
to the south; the
boundry thus protected
the Republic from
internal military threat.
When Julius Caesar
crossed the Rubicon
in 49 BC , to make
his way to Rome, he
broke that law and
made armed
comflict inevitable.
According to
Suetonius he
uttered the famous
phrase alea iacta
est (“the dice is
cast”).
THE ROMAN BRIGE OVER THE RUBICONE THE
RUBICON RIVER
The Roman brige was built when the Consol Marco Milio
Lepido traced the route of Via Emilia.
LIBRARY AND ACCADEMY OF FILOPATRIDI
In to Sec. XVI and XVIII in the Savignano there were 2
libraries: one town library and one Accademic Library.
THE CASTLE OF RIBANO
On the hills above the town there is the Castel of Ribano, on the
main route from Savignano sul Rubicone to Sogliano al Rubicone.
During the French Revolution, Giocchino Rasponi, captured the
Castel of Ribano.
Piadina romagnola is an
unleavened type of bread
boasting very ancient
origins. Originally, it was
cooked on a stone which
has now been replaced by
the iron frying pan.
Piadina is the symbol of
our regional gastronomy
and should be eaten like
a sandwich filled with
local cold cuts & cheese
such as Parma Ham or
squacquerone.
Savignano also stretches its territory to the magnificent
Adriatic sea coast, with hotels and seaside establishments, and
endless amusement parks for all ages.
