A plaque, which contains this triplet Dante, was laid by the Popular University of Bagnacavallo, on the facade of the Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza della Libertà, on the occasion of the sixth centenary of Dante's death. The supreme poet "praises" Bagnacavallo for the extinction of his most important family, Counts Malvicini,  that in 1300 had only three women among his descendants. According to Dante, in fact, it would have been better to die out that help to leave alive a morally decayed aristocracy such as Castrocaro or Conio
