This guidebook is part of a broader project aimed at promoting the Upper Valley of the Idice as a heritage and nature locality, stemming from the archeo-logical research at the Monte Bibele site begun in 1965. The underlying idea is to provide an easily accessible reference publication for anyone wishing to visit the new Archeological Park and the completely renovated Municipal Archeological Museum of Monterenzio, where the finds are exhibited.  The guidebook is mainly concerned with the archaeology of the Upper Valley of the Idice, with special emphasis on the more recent work done at the Monte Bibele, some fifty years since the earliest research. It also includes a survey of the relevant territory and natural landscape features which are instrumental in determining the history of this area. This publication may thus be seen as the primary information media for a programme aimed at fully promoting a wide expanse of territory.  After ten years of cooperation between the Municipality of Monterenzio and the University of Bologna, it became possible to complete the project thanks to special EU funds for regional development allocated to the Emilia-Romagna Region (POR FESR 2007/2013). By restoring function and value to public property through those funds, socio-economic development at the local level was achieved, offering qualified services for the promotion of tourism. This is the first time that Monte Bibele has received official economic recognition, leading to the creation of an integrated system of routes and trails through habitat and history – an adventure into biodiversity and the transformation of a natural environment for human needs.

Abstract

This guidebook is part of a broader project aimed at promoting the Upper Valley of the Idice as a heritage and nature locality, stemming from the archeo-logical research at the Monte Bibele site begun in 1965. The underlying idea is to provide an easily accessible reference publication for anyone wishing to visit the new Archeological Park and the completely renovated Municipal Archeological Museum of Monterenzio, where the finds are exhibited.  The guidebook is mainly concerned with the archaeology of the Upper Valley of the Idice, with special emphasis on the more recent work done at the Monte Bibele, some fifty years since the earliest research. It also includes a survey of the relevant territory and natural landscape features which are instrumental in determining the history of this area. This publication may thus be seen as the primary information media for a programme aimed at fully promoting a wide expanse of territory.  After ten years of cooperation between the Municipality of Monterenzio and the University of Bologna, it became possible to complete the project thanks to special EU funds for regional development allocated to the Emilia-Romagna Region (POR FESR 2007/2013). By restoring function and value to public property through those funds, socio-economic development at the local level was achieved, offering qualified services for the promotion of tourism. This is the first time that Monte Bibele has received official economic recognition, leading to the creation of an integrated system of routes and trails through habitat and history – an adventure into biodiversity and the transformation of a natural environment for human needs. This English edition is a revised translation of the original Italian Guidebook published in 2015.
