Casa colonica in Mordano

Low-lying agricultural plain of the Po Valley with intensive arable farming, orchards and the network of small drainage and irrigation channels typical of the Bolognese lowlands. No mountains or named lakes are inside a 15 km radius; the Apennine foothills lie well to the south beyond that distance. The nearest town of size is Imola (about 8–9 km), which provides a train station, hospital, shops and the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari racing circuit. Bologna, the provincial capital, is the nearest large city (roughly 30–35 km) with regional rail and airport connections. There are local service towns and light industrial/warehousing areas around Imola and along the main roads; no national-park or UNESCO landscape features are within the immediate area.
