The town populated by 6,000 people and surrounded by sprawling hills, offers the perfect alternative to travellers hoping to explore off of the beaten track away from cities over saturated by tourism . Renowned for its mural festivals which take place every two years and its vibrant, colourful street art that adorns the narrow streets, Dozza is more like an open air art gallery allowing you to admire more than one hundred works by several contemporary prestigious artists.

Dozza is best visited from May to September, when you can combine a visit to the village with participation in events such as the “Wine Festival” or the “Nuova Biennale del Muro Dipinto” (Biennial Exhibition of the Painted Wall). function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
