Andrea Lugli
La Mirandola hamlet
One of countless ancient hamlets lost in the northern Appennines, Emilia Romagna, derelict hamlet La Mirandola stands on the Northern side of the Lamola Valley.
Since pre-Roman times, the valley had been inhabited thanks to its many creeks (supplying fresh water and hydraulic energy) and strategic position (leading to a mandatory pass across the Appennines between the Po valley and Tuscany) and it become a landmark for pilgrins on the route from Santiago to Rome. However, the XX° century marked the end of the many hamlets, scattered across the Valley.
