San Donato Park – Sundial and Leonardo da Vinci Concavities

Highlight • Monument

Park equipped with play equipment, picnic tables and benches. The San Donato area is equipped with a scenic route and some facilities for outdoor free-body sports. The park is dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci: 2 structures were built on the basis of drawings made by Leonardo Da Vinci, called "concavities". At the base of the cavities, users have the ability to activate the acoustic propagation of traditional sounds similar to those emitted by horns, instruments used by shepherds in the sixteenth century. A box with books for free exchange has recently been installed as part of the loan project (Little Free Library project). In the highest part of the park the "Tasso" by G. Pascoli was planted on the initiative of the Elementary Schools of Sogliano.

The famous representation of the ideal proportions of the human body, demonstrates how it can be harmoniously inscribed in the two “perfect” figures of the circle and the square. Leonardo’s drawing was inspired by a passage by the architect Vitruvius (1st century BC).

The iron sculpture, inspired by the drawing of the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci, was installed on May 2, 2016 in the roundabout at the intersection of the SP11 and SP30 in Sogliano al Rubicone, Vignola – Curto district.

Si parte dal centro storico di Sogliano al Rubicone, ma prima si consiglia di visitare il “Museo Leonardo da Vinci e la Romagna”, dedicato al viaggio fatto da Leonardo in Romagna nel 1502. Il museo si trova nel Palazzo della Cultura, che ospita altre mostre permanenti, anch’esse senz’altro meritevoli d’essere viste: il “Museo della Linea Christa”, la “Collezione Veggiani”, la “Mostra permanente del disco e della registrazione musicale” e la “Collezione di Arte Povera”. Nella stessa strada, via Pascoli, si può notare un bell’albero di biancospino, noto per il fatto di essere molto vecchio. Entro i confini del centro storico meritano una visita anche il Museo delle miniere, le caratteristiche fosse del formaggio di Sogliano DOP e l’antica ghiacciaia.

Il Cammino di Leonardo ha una lunghezza di 7,2 km e non presenta particolari difficoltà, a parte un paio di discese un po’ ripide e scivolose. Il tempo di percorrenza totale è calcolato in 2 h 30. Ci si incammina inizialmente verso il Campo sportivo comunale percorrendo il sentiero CAi n. 155 dirigendosi verso il fiume Uso. Un sipario naturale di canne conduce ad un bosco caratterizzato dalla presenza di Pino nero, vetuste querce, piante di sambuco e varie piante di more, i cui frutti, nella stagione giusta, sono di conforto ai viandanti. Arrivati a valle si costeggiata per un tratto l’alveo fluviale e si inizia quasi subito la risalita, abbastanza impegnativa, seppur breve verso Sogliano al Rubicone. Si arriva al Parco S. Donato di Vignola, nel quale sono presenti due “concavità”, realizzate in base ai disegni di Leonardo: si tratta di incavature coniche scavate nel terreno che anticamente servivano ai pastori per amplificare i suoni dei corni, potendo così comunicare a grandi distanze. All’interno del parco segnaliamo anche il Tempietto di San Donato, antico oratorio oggi dedicato alla pace. Lasciato il parco e raggiunta la vicina Chiesa di Vignola, si nota facilmente, a ridosso di una scarpata una bella Roverella plurisecolare, alta 18 m e con una circonferenza alla base di 3,4 m. L’ultima tappa è presso il grande manufatto dell'Uomo Vitruviano, anch’esso realizzato in base ai disegni di Leonardo da Vinci prima di entrare nel paese di Sogliano al Rubicone.

Sogliano al Rubicone

The toponym seems to derive from Fundus Solliani, the original name of the territory on which the town arose.

In the medieval period, Sogliano was a castle of the Malatesta of Rimini, over which they exercised their most lasting dominion; in fact, they governed there until 1640, the year in which it passed to the Papal State.

Starting from the eighteenth century, three coal mines were opened in Capannaccio, Montegelli and Montetiffi, which remained active until the 1940s.

During the nineteenth century, by resolution of the city council, the castle, which stood at the highest point of the town, was demolished, creating in its place a large square, necessary for the town for its role as an important agricultural market.

Church of Saint Lawrence the Martyr

Highlight • Religious Site

The current church (in Via Cavour) was rebuilt in the years from 1789 to 1819, largely on the remains of an older church, of which there is evidence dating back to 1144. The parish was chosen by some Malatestas as their burial place.
...
In 1937, new restoration work began which gave the temple its current appearance, in 1938 the church was frescoed by the Cesena painter Fortunato Teodorani; in October 1944, the parish church was hit by grenades in the eastern part but the recovery work quickly made the building accessible again. The last restorations date back to the 2000s.
