Description
Dozza is an Italian comune in the province of Bologna. Dozza is known for its festival of the painted wall, which takes place every two years. During this festival, famous national and international artists paint steady works on the walls of the houses. A local landmark is the Sforza's Castle, whose cellars host Enoteca Regionale Emilia Romagna, the wineshop and winebar dedicated to oenologic products of Emilia-Romagna. The Fortress of Dozza, built in 1250, is still perfectly preserved along with the entire village inside the circular wall, dating back to 1087. The intact heart of the village offers a unique image of a typical medieval town, but with one particularity: in Dozza, every two years the "Biennale del Muro Dipinto" takes place. Artists from all over the world meet here to paint their operas on the walls of the houses, which offers a very bizarre appearance.
