"Gli Appennini sono per me un pezzo meraviglioso del creato. Alla grande pianura della regione padana segue una catena di monti che si eleva
dal basso per chiudere verso sud il continente tra due mari (....) è un così bizzarro groviglio di pareti montuose a ridosso l'una dall'altra;
spesso non si può nemmeno distinguere in che direzione scorre l'acqua."
J. W. Goethe, Viaggio in Italia (1786 - 1788)

The Documentation Center of Piano wants to represent the heart
of the historic memory of Piano del Voglio, a town of the
Alto Appennino Bolognese.
It holds a cultural heritage that comes from remote centuries,but also from much recent periods. It conserves, in fact, a very large number of documents produced by public offices, that have been classified in chronological order, starting from the Middle Ages up to present days.

Between the catalogued issues we find: photostatic copies of ancient original documents, heraldry, wall inscriptions, votive witnessings, photographic documents, deeds concerning Piano during the priorate and municipal staying period, news about bodies and institutions of the town government, biblioographic extracts, photograpic census of fountains, wells and sources of the Piano area, cartography and planimetry of buildings of different ages.
The documentary collection presents also cards about: buildings of particular historic and architectonic interest, limbs and trades, celebre people, mills, and other hydraulic factories of the Piano territory. The archivistic patrimony of the Documentation Center of Piano is completed by the bachelor thesis about local history, negative films and transparencies of its territory.
