Castelnovo Monti (official: Castelnovo ne' Monti is a town and comune in the province of Reggio Emilia, central Italy.
Along with every other town and village in the Apennines, Castelnovo is an approved area for the production of Parmesan cheese. It is also home to only hospital in the area.
Geography
It is situated in the Reggiano Apennines mountains.
Castelnovo is best known for the Pietra di Bismantova spur. The pietra (literally "Rock of Bismantova") can be spotted from a distance of 30 km as it stands at around 1.047m above sea level. The rock is a favourite climbing and ab-sailing destination throughout Italy and is considered a particularly difficult climb due to its outward-curving wall. The rock has been mentioned by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy.
Other geographical landmarks include the Triassic chalk formations of the Gessi Triassici and the river Secchia which, together with the Pietra of Bismantova, are part of the National Park of the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano.
