Located about 12km from Imola, Casalfiumanese is the first town of the Santerno Valley, which goes up into the Apennines along Via Montanara, even reaching Tuscany.
Casalfiumanese is situated on a hill, surrounded by the typical landscape of the Santerno Valley: apricot trees, vineyards and outstanding ancient calanchi, local geological ground formations similar to badlands.
