Quarto
Quarto, a town of the Alto Savio, is so called due to the distance from the ancient roman city-hole of Sarsina, four roman miles.The homonymous lake, risen from a landslide of 1812, is one of the surrounds of greater naturalistic interest of the High Valley of Savio river. Its territory, thanks to the many activities to do along the watercourses which cross it, represents a real paradise for the lovers of the nature. In Quarto in fact it is possible to do trekking, mountain bike and to reach very interesting panoramic areas running along paths trough woods and forests.
Appreciated it is also its gastronomy. In the receptive structures, dipped in the green, the culinary art is the genuine one of the tradition of Romagna and Tuscany. There are also many areas for camping and picnics.
Directly in the centre of the town, not to lose is the Sanctuary of Madonna Pellegrina where there is, with other paintings, the sole representation of Uguccione della Faggiola's castle, cited by Dante Alighieri in his Divine Comedy.
