The Leonardo Da Vinci Path has a length of 7.1 km and does not present any particular difficulties, apart from a couple of somewhat steep descents. The total travel time is calculated in 2 h 10m.
The historic center holds some unique architectural beauties such as the “Fountain of the Butterflies” by Tonino Guerra in Piazza Matteotti and “The Girl with a Book” by Ilario Fioravanti in via xx Settembre, before leaving for the walk, we recommend visiting the “Leonardo da Vinci and Romagna Museum”, dedicated to the journey made by Leonardo in Romagna in 1502. The museum is located in the Palace of Culture, which houses other permanent exhibitions, also worth seeing: the “Museum of the Christa Line”, the “Permanent Exhibition of Records and Music Recordings” and the “Arte Povera Collection”.
Within the boundaries of the historic center there are also the MUSO – Museum of the Underground, the “Veggiani Collection”, the ancient icehouse, the museum of mines and the characteristic Fosse del formaggio di Sogliano DOP. We recommend booking for the places mentioned above.

We initially set out toward the municipal sports field along CAI trail No. 115 heading toward the Uso River. A natural curtain of reeds leads to a forest characterized by the presence of black pine, ancient oaks, elder trees and various blackberry plants, whose fruits, in the right season, are a comfort to wayfarers. When you reach the valley, you skirt the provincial road to the right for a stretch and almost immediately begin the fairly challenging, if short, ascent to Sogliano al Rubicone. We arrive at S. Donato di Vignola Park, in which there are two “concavities,” made according to Leonardo’s drawings: these are conical hollows dug into the ground that in ancient times were used by shepherds to amplify the sounds of their horns, thus being able to communicate at great distances. Inside the park we also point out the Tempietto di San Donato, an ancient oratory now dedicated to peace. Leaving the park and reaching the nearby Church of Vignola, one easily notices, close to an escarpment a beautiful, centuries-old Roverella, 18 m high and with a circumference at the base of 3.4 m. The last stop is at the large Vitruvian Man artifact, also made based on Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings before entering the town of Sogliano al Rubicone.
