Book a guided tour of Russi. Together with local tourist guide Agnese Bassi you can be captivated by the impressive Palazzo San Giacomo: the summer estate of the Rasponi family of Ravenna catapults visitors into a time of noble families, parties and intrigue, leaving them speechless with its Baroque frescoes that tell stories of mythology, legends, gods, and constellations.
In the town center of Russi, however, you will discover traces of the ancient 14th-century Castrum, including the large keep and hidden turrets, stories of bandits, towers incorporated into new buildings, large gates and clocks!
For archaeology enthusiasts, the complex of the 1st-century AD Villa Romana, surrounded by greenery and discovered by chance, will enchant with its magnificent mosaics, while at the Civic Museum you can admire Roman-era artifacts and frescoes together, as well as works and curiosities from local history.
Only five minutes from Casa Laderchi
Agnese Bassi, a native of Russi and an art enthusiast since childhood, she graduated in History and Conservation of Works of Art in 2016. The desire to explain art and history to as many people as possible led her to become a certified tour guide. Although she lived in France and Turin, her love for Romagna drew her back, working as a tour guide and in a local tourist office. She always tries to illustrate the beauty of our land in a simple, effective and affordable way, adapting tone and content to those in front of her–from 0 to 99 years old!
