Fossalta, a bridge between Modena and Bologna. The Bolognese, who were repairing the wooden bridge, went to gather firewood in Modena territory. The dispute sparked conflict. Modena’s defeat was complete and terrible. King Enzo himself, a native of Modena, was taken prisoner and held in Bologna for the rest of his life. The palace, facing the Basilica of San Petronio, is still called the Palazzo di Re Enzo. The Modenese were thus forced to side with the Guelphs.
