Emilia Romagna Area Guide

Emilia Romagna lies between the River Po to its north and the Apennine Mountains (to its south). It is one of the most fertile and productive regions of Italy, thanks to the mitigating effect that the Adriatic Sea has on the coastal climate. It’s Adriatic coast, the Romagna Riviera, has the longest beach in Europe, and is home to some of Italy’s best-known beach resorts, Rimini, Riccione and Cattolica. There is a climate and a landscape for everyone in this large region, with beaches, mountains and rivers, several nature reserves, and spa towns for those seeking more relaxation than adventure.

This is the land of Verdi’s novels and Giovanni Pascoli’s poetry, as well as Fellini’s unmistakable cinema - a director who became a legend through his many masterpieces that come to life in this, his native region. The A14 motorway strikes an almost dead-straight path along the Po Valley from Piacenza in the north west of the region, to Rimini on the sea. En route it passes the world famous Parma, home to the best ham in the world, Modena, the home of Ferrari, Bologna, with the oldest University in Europe, and Imola with its famous race track, among others.
