In the past
About two thousand years ago it was a place blessed by God surrounded by woods, fields and junipers. Located on the top of a hill it overlooked Panaro valley on one side and the Pavullo mountains on the other one. Men were so curious about this beautiful and almost inaccessible place, and story tells us that in 890 part of this territory was transformed into a vineyard (4.500 vines) and a man called Agino looked after it. They were hard times, rich men were constantly searching for hidden places to stay and protect themselves against fights. One of them found this hill and built a fortified castle surrounded by walls with a high tower from where you could check everything nearby. It was called Festasius, that later changed into Festà.
