The park as a local landmark

Parco Giovanni Antonio Battarra is located in Case Di Pedrolara at Via Pedrolara 53. In March 2026, the ninth orange bench was unveiled there. The permanent bench stands as a visible sign of the Municipality of Coriano’s commitment to combating violence against women and promoting respect and dignity. This links a specific address with a social message. The unveiling took place in March 2026; the bench itself is intended as a permanent symbol.

Remembering the victims of the Saline

Near Case Di Pedrolara, the “Cippo all'eccidio delle Saline” monument commemorates all 40 civilian victims of the Saline. They lost their lives between 4 and 15 September 1944, when shelters on the banks of the Rio Melo in the hamlet of Saline, near the Pedrolara bridge, collapsed. The monument was unveiled on 25 April 2004 in memory of the victims. In Coriano, it is located on Via Ca' Fornaci. The dates distinguish two points in time: the events of September 1944 and the later commemoration marked by the unveiling.

The name Le Saline and the history of cycling

The name “Le Saline” comes from salt pans that were once located in the bed of the Rio Melo near the hamlet of Pedrolara. It points to the river area’s former use and adds a different historical perspective to the remembrance of the victims.

On 24 April 1991, mountain biking enthusiasts with an interest in environmental issues founded the association “Le Saline – Natura e Sport”. The association’s history includes a youth mountain biking school. A training course was set up for it, where children and young people learned mountain biking skills and ethics. They put this knowledge into practice on numerous rides, organised across various local circuits and by “Le Saline” itself. This history spans everything from the founders’ environmental interests to youth work, training and practical mountain biking experience.

A biographical connection to Pedrolara

Giovanni Antonio Battarra was born in 1714 in Pedrolara di Coriano. His name also appears in the name of Parco Giovanni Antonio Battarra. This biographical connection adds a precise year of birth and place name to the themes of remembrance, landscape history and cycling.
