La città di FORLÌ

A flourishing Renaissance cultural and artistic center and home to the Risorgimento movements, the city is home to the San Domenico Museum complex with internationally renowned exhibitions and boasts the imposing Abbey of San Mercuriale, a symbol of Romanesque architecture in Romagna, as well as stylistic and artistic elements that bear witness to its most significant historical periods, from the Renaissance under the rule of the Ordelaffi family to the manifest rationalism in Piazzale della Vittoria and Viale della Libertà. Other monuments and places of interest include: Abbey of San Mercuriale: a basilica located in Piazza Aurelio Saffi, which is considered the symbol of the city due to its central location and tall bell tower. The Cathedral of Santa Croce is the cathedral of Forlì. San Domenico: suppressed by order of Napoleon in 1797, the large church of San Giacomo Apostolo was the hub of the city's Dominicans, who, starting in the 14th century, built a convent that, after centuries of abandonment, has recently been restored and now hosts international-level exhibitions and displays. It is also home to the Art Gallery and the Civic Museums. Basilica of San Pellegrino Laziosi, or Church of the Order of the Servants of Mary: a sanctuary famous for housing the mortal remains of San Pellegrino Laziosi. Church of Carmine: halfway along Corso Mazzini, the hub of the San Pietro district, it is known for its beautiful marble portal (15th century), the work of Marino Cedrini. Of 14th-century origin, it was completely renovated between 1735 and 1746 based on a design by Giuseppe Merenda. At the time of the Roman forum, Piazza Aurelio Saffi was just a large space on the edge of the centuriation, along the Via Emilia towards Rimini. It became, as it is today, the central place of the city in the Middle Ages and after the unification of Italy, it was dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II and then to Aurelio Saffi, replacing the column of the Madonna (moved to the cathedral) with a monument dedicated to Saffi. As in many other Italian cities, in Forlì the city walls were almost completely razed to the ground at the beginning of the twentieth century in order to free up new spaces for construction and allow the development of the city outside the ancient city center. The demolition of the walls was almost total, and only some sections of the ancient city walls still survive.
