The Via Mater Dei is the path dedicated to the Marian Sanctuaries of the Bolognese Apennines. It is a route of about 157 km which develops in seven stages on mid-mountain ridges and which connects the city of Bologna to nine municipalities in the Bolognese Apennines: Pianoro, Monterenzio, Loiano, Monghidoro, San Benedetto Val di Sambro, Castiglione dei Pepoli , Camugnano, Grizzana Morandi, Vergato and the Municipality of Firenzuola, in the Tuscan territory.
From the City, with its walls and medieval monuments so famous in the world slowly, walking and sweating, you will be able to rediscover that natural contact with the earth, the wind, the sun, the rain which are the casual but essential elements of a real journey. Step by step, arriving at the last sanctuary, once you return to the city, whatever City you live in, everything will have a new face, because your looks will be new.
