Predappio is on the main road no.3 of Rabbi, about 15 km from Forlì, direction to Premilcuore.

The most ancient settlement is the present “Predappio Alta” (high Predappio) with roman origins. It is on a spur of a mountainand still today it looks like an ancient medieval village.

In 1927, because of the fear of possible landslides, following the will of Benito Mussolini it was decided to start in the valley underneath the building of a new town.

That part of the town was built according to the taste and ideology of that historic period and today it represents the Urban Museum of Predappio
