Fossoli (Emilian: Fòsel) is an Italian village and hamlet (frazione) of Carpi, a city and municipality of the province of Modena, Emilia-Romagna.
[1] Born as a rural village, Fossoli sadly became infamous during World War II, for the concentration camp located near the settlement.
It is crossed by the provincial highway SP413 and, in the west, by the Verona–Mantua–Modena railway, on which stood a station, now closed.
The village is 27 km from Modena, 32 from Reggio Emilia, 51 from Mantua, and 68 from Bologna.
[4] Next to Fossoli is located the WWF nature reserve "Oasi La Francesca", a marsh that extends for 23 hectares.
