Nearly crossing northern Italy from the Adriatic Sea westward, Emilia-Romagna gets its name from Via Emilia, the Rimini-to-Piacenza ancient Roman road it straddles. With a rich mix of age-old agriculture and modern industry, the region is home to many historic and cultural gems, both in its larger towns like Bologna, Modena and Ravenna, as well as in its many small hilltop villages. Of course, the region’s best offerings also include native culinary wonders like parmigiano cheese and tortellini.
Located on the border of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, and within day-trip distance of Milan, pretty Piacenza’s strategic location has been important since Roman times. Today, travelers are tempted with local wine, gourmet specialties, and a countryside dotted with castles and medieval villages.
