FORLI CESENA, The Rubicone

Emilia Romagna, Sogliano al Rubicone

Emilia Romagna, Sogliano al Rubicone

Who does not know the famous Caio Giulio Caesar and his incredible return to Italy to regain Rome, precisely on the morning of 10 January 49 BC, after the & lt; Strong>Gallic Wars (58 BC and 51 BC)? Surely you have heard the Rubicone and this important historical episode many times.

So, if you are a history lover and want to know some places that were of extreme importance for the political development of an era, I recommend a visit to this interesting tourist destination. In Savignano sul Rubicone, for example, there are to be seen: the Church of Suffrage (or San Savior), the Church of San Benedict (rebuilt in 1669) and the Bridge over the Rubicone river.

It is believed that the Rubicone crossed by Caesar, is the same small river located about 300 km from Rome, in the province of Forlì-Cesena, which was born in Sogliano al Rubicone and flows into the Adriatic Sea. This simple action forever marked the fate of the magnificent Roman Empire.

Visit this province and enjoy every second of history, and don't forget the well-known phrase of Julius Caesar before crossing the Rubicone alea iacta est (the dice is tact) .
