Rastignano-Carteria Di Sesto

Church history and trails offer different points of interest when you choose Rastignano-Carteria Di Sesto as a travel destination. Historical topics include the history of Sant'Andrea di Sesto and the place of Santa Maria di Mileto in history; a hiking tour and a cycling route also pass through Carteria di Sesto. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between an interest in history and deciding which routes you would like to explore.

Church History Across Different Periods

Sant'Andrea di Sesto was mentioned in 1221 in a bull issued by Honorius III in favor of the canons of Bologna. The church and its bell tower were destroyed during the Second World War. The present-day building was rebuilt in the village of Cartiera di Sesto in 1965–1966; the first Mass was celebrated on October 9, 1966. This chronology distinguishes the early mention from the destruction and subsequent construction. Sant'Andrea can thus be placed in context both through a reference dating to the 13th century and through the creation of the present-day building in the 1960s. Santa Maria di Mileto is considered the oldest church in the Savena Valley. While Sant'Andrea is associated with an early mention and rebuilding, Santa Maria di Mileto offers a different historical point of reference: its status as the oldest church in the valley.

Hiking and Cycling Connections

When planning your routes, it is worth distinguishing between the types of routes. Carteria di Sesto is part of a hiking tour on the Mater Dei Trail between Rastignano and C. Prati del Comune. The Bicipolitana Bologna–Pianoro, Line 10, also passes through Carteria di Sesto and is classified as a cycling route. It connects with a network of hiking trails and other routes in areas of considerable historical and natural interest. The Mater Dei Trail is therefore the specific route for a hiking tour; Line 10 is a cycling route connected to a network of paths. If you also plan to use connected routes, check their current conditions in advance, as individual connecting routes may change.

Parish by the River

The parish of Carteria di Sesto is located on the riverbank, surrounded by the greenery of a park and close to the cycling and pedestrian path connecting Rastignano with Pianoro. The parish grounds include a small amphitheater, a children's play area, and a bocce court. The landscape and facilities offer different points of reference: the riverbank, park greenery, and nearby path define the surrounding setting, while the amphitheater, play area, and bocce court are facilities on the parish grounds. If you would like to take these facilities into account when planning your visit, it is advisable to briefly check their current condition beforehand.
