Between Modena and Castelnuovo Rangone, not far from the Panaro expansion basins, a cycle/pedestrian bridge over the Tiepido torrent allows you to cross this minor watercourse. Just under 30 kilometers long, the Tiepido owes its name to the battle of Fossalta (which took place in 1249, a clash between King Enzo of Swabia and the army of the Free Municipality of Bologna): the blood of the fallen and wounded would have "warmed "the cold waters of the stream.
