Sasso Marconi

Sasso Marconi lies in the Apennine foothills just south of Bologna, where the Reno valley opens into wooded hills. The town is known as Guglielmo Marconi's birthplace and as a quieter residential alternative to the city, with a historic centre and hillside homes spread across the surrounding slopes. Buyers and renters are drawn by the combination of a country setting and straightforward access to Bologna.
