History

Casalecchio's name is derived from "Casaliculum" (collection of little houses), while "Reno" is derived from a Germanic word meaning "stream" or "river." The site has archaeological treasures dating from the Paleolithic and Villanovan eras; Etruscan remains have also been found. Its inhabitants are called "casalecchiesi".

The Battle of Casalecchio took place here on June 26, 1402.
