The traditional meats of Romagna are barbecued over a hot fire. Tasty meats such as ribs, bacon, pork sausages, and especially mutton chops, are first marinated in oil, rosemary, salt pepper for about an hour before cooking. Roasted meats aren’t to be forgotten, such as the succulent guinea hen, rabbit and chicken.
Typical and genuine are the cold cuts, in particular ciccioli, salsiccia matta (pork interiors seasoned with garlic), salami, and coppa di testa.

This building is the final result of the unification and later the renovations of three minor buildings of the 15th century, which ended at the end of the 18th century.
The composed name of this building comes from the various families who owned this property throughout the centuries. It was bought by the canonical Fabrizio Miti in 1648, then it was passed through hereditary rights to the Zagnoni family and finally it was bought by the Raffi family in 1794. On the ground floor there are still traceable elements of Renaissance architecture such as the small portal with the stone columns and doric capitals, and the numerous painted mythological scenes which can also be found on the first floor. The most important artistic parts date back to the 17th century, like the main stairway leading up to the noble floor, the monumental fireplaces decorated with chalk statues and the frescoes by Antonio and Giuseppe Rolli, which embellish the arches of the three rooms on the first floor. These splendid baroque mythological scenes celebrate the good fortune of the Miti family.
The palace is now owned by the CGIL, which you can turn for a visit.

On the hills overlooking the new hospital lies a unique villa of the past, which unfortunately is now in ruins.
It was a 18th century hunting lodge, which still contained a beautiful frescoed hall and a large two ramped baroque staircase when the Muggia family bought it before the Second War World. They entrusted a young architect from Milan, Piero Bottoni, with the project of restoring it. The more valuable parts were conserved, but the architect substituted the totally deteriorated areas with daring and spectacular solutions in order to harmonise the old with the new. He cleverly created a refined and fascinating work of art making sure not to overlook the fine details of the furniture.
The abandonment and devastation of the war cancelled most of this masterpiece, nevertheless splendours of the past still remain, such as parts of the external structure and the large futuristic dining-room table made of one single block of marble and cement.
It is not possible to visit the villa inside.

The oratory was dedicated to St. Rocco, protector against the plague of 1622. It was built by the rich confraternity of St. Rocco, whose members belonged to the upper families of Imola.
It is situated on the top floor of the Chiesa di Valverde (Church of Valverde), and its present aspect is due to the works commissioned to the architects Lorenzo and Cosimo Mattoni at the beginning of the 18th century. It is a large rectangolar room with a lowered arch, illuminated by vast windows and decorated in the rococò style, with numerous carved wooden benches, painted to resemble marble and arranged along the walls.
The rich furnishings of the past have now disappeared, but some paintings originally mounted in stucco frames are preserved in the Museo Diocesano.

This huge complex hosted the county psichiatric hospital for almost a century since 1890: it was made up of single blocks housing the wards, the general services, the surgeries but it also comprised a huge park, intersected by wide tree-lined avenues and a wide agricultural area.
It grew to become one of the most important psichiatric hospitals in Italy, covering an area of 140.000 sqm. Nowadays is part of the Council’s patrimony and is part of a key project to make it available to the whole community.
