Romanoro is a small hamlet in the province of Modena in central Italy, administratively a frazione[4] of Frassinoro. It is about 700 metres (2,300 ft) above sea level.
Right below the town flows the Dolo mountain stream. A dam exists at the top of Fontanaluccia, that deviates part of the water about 16 km (9.9 mi) downward to the hydroelectric power plant located in the nearby Farneta.
History
