Interesting facts Former 16th century convent and one of the oldest buildings in Baricella, the “Motta” was originally provided with moat and walls. This lovely complex witnessed the stories and traditions of a family from Bologna who lived in this pleasant countryside oasis for generations. It enjoys a prime location in the restful silence of the Bolognese plain, albeit a short distance from the lively center of Bologna, city of history, traditions, culture and good food, deservedly called “the Red, the Fat, the Learned”.
