Church of Sant’Andrea in Corneliano
Highlight • Religious Site
From the year 1038 to 1575 it had the title of parish church, with some parishes under it and was therefore subjected to the parish church of Bazzano. Following the fate of its territory, the subject of frequent border disputes, it underwent transfers several times from the diocese of Modena to that of Bologna and vice versa.
The sacred building was modified several times, in the seventeenth century and especially in the eighteenth century, when it was entirely rebuilt in its current form. The bell tower, of the so-called "pencil" type, dates back to 1808, while towards the end of the twentieth century a radical restoration was carried out, which saved the monument from an imminent end.

Rocca dei Bentivoglio
Highlight • Castle
In 1038 the bishop of Modena granted the curtis of Bazzano in emphyteusis to the marquis Bonifacio of Canossa, father of Matilde. Although not mentioned among the Matilda castles in the ancient biographies dedicated to the countess, the Bazzano building is linked to Matilda by a legend that has survived in popular traditions: it is said, in fact, that Bazzano was connected to the Monteveglio castle via an underground tunnel, inside which the golden armor of the warrior countess and some chests containing precious objects would be hidden.
...
Throughout the fourteenth century and until the first half of the fifteenth century, dominion over the castle was alternately in the hands of the Bolognese, the Viscontis and the Papal State.
In 1473 the palatium and the surrounding land were donated to Giovanni II Bentivoglio, lord of Bologna. The Bentivoglios made significant changes to the building, incorporating the late thirteenth-century military structures into a stately palace, one of the "delights" that the Bentivoglios owned in the Bolognese area and frequented occasionally during holidays and holiday periods. In 1490 the works were completed and the palace remained the property of the Bentivoglio family until 1506, when they were expelled from Bologna.
...
Ugo Foscolo, then lieutenant of the Bolognese national guard, captured by the Austrian hussars who had overthrown the Bazzano municipality, was imprisoned in the prisons of the Rocca in 1799. In memory of this event, the name of the so-called "Foscolo cell" remains, located on the ground floor of the fortress, to the right of the loggia.
