Casa Conoscenti
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
A 13th century building illustrating a rare example of a privately owned house with a portico constructed from selenite rock and with ogival characteristics. There’s also clear evidence of one of Bologna’s first examples of its ancient defence walls. The house belonged to Alberto Conoscenti.

The Battiferro Industrial Park
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
Footage of an abandoned kiln and hydro-electrical plant. The Navile Canal passes through here which was central to industrial uses here in the late 1900s. A few deaths were also recorded here in recent years as it was visited by homeless people. Long term plans will transform this area into social and cultural facilities.

The House of Cesare Battisti

External footage only. A building in ruins which would have been a magnificent building in its day as can still be seen from its large and sturdy shape. The patriot and martyr Battisti was born here.

Napoleonic Forts
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
Seemingly off the beaten track – really the old street of Marocchi. These old ruins which were defensive buildings built by the Austrian army (1802-1805), are a little disappointing because there’s not much to see. The beautiful scenery though does make up for it.

The Bohill Mystery
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
Mystery and intrigued is written all over this plot of land. The Bohill near Dundrod contains an unexplained series of visual signs nobody seems to know for sure what they mean. An underground bunker/tunnel, twin set of trees in a circle, large stones clumped together, but to top it off a giant cross permanently engraved in the ground.
