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.
Construction of a bridge over the Valoria landslide (44°19′22″N 10°32′11″E / 44.32278°N 10.53639°E) had been planned since 2006. The bridge was completed in 2007.[5][6]
