The world's capital of Mortadella, where food is art - Zola Predosa

Zola Predosa is the World's Capital of Mortadella! July is the ideal time to take a trip around here on the occasion of the old Fira 'd Zola (Zola Fair), a three-day event to taste the most famous dishes of the Bolognese tradition, rediscover the ancient crafts in the historic Vicolo Marchi and visit Palazzo Albergati, one of the Italian best examples of baroque architecture. Many celebrity guests used to visit the palace, including kings, queens, princes, musicians, writers, scientists and adventurers. It is even said that the Albergati Family sent a Mortadella to Voltaire to France! We must not forget that the wine cellars at Palazzo Albergati are evidence of the ancient production of “Castel Zola”, a red wine exported to America. Made-to-measure barrels were made to be kept in the cellars of the palace and today they are still there! The hills above the village of Zola Predosa are the ideal place to stop for a wine tasting at one of the several wineries producing Pignoletto wine and other wines of the Bolognese Hills. Instead the plain around the town allows you to admire historic villas along the course of the Lavino Stream and visit a real magical place too: the Modern Art Museum Cà la Ghironda, a 10-hectare park with more than 15 thousand plants and fruit trees, where hares, pheasants and squirrels roam. It looks like an outdoor theatre with its 210 sculptures made from different materials by world-famous artists. Zola Predosa...A place of art, nature and gastronomic specialties!
