The town is located in central-northern Italy, in Emilia-Romagna, in the province of Modena, at an altitude of 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) and at the foot of Mount Cimone.

In summer, the weather is often good in the morning, then in the afternoon, cloud cover increases and thunderstorms can break out.
