Located atop the Della Guardia hill, the Sanctuary of the the Madonna of San Luca has always been one of Bologna’s most recognizable landmarks; the big news is that the place will soon be turned into a nature park under the Unesco protection.
Many nearby towns such as Casalecchio di Reno will take part in the initiative and give their own contribution to this new challenge.
New paths will be built around the whole area, linking the heart of the city to the old church which can now be reached on foot through the old arcade which covers almost 4 kilometres.
