Why Reggio Emilia

" …people-friendly sized city at the top of classifications as one of the most prosperous and liveable cities in Italy: renowned for the quality of its services and for the industry and wits of its citizens…"
From the ancient public squares, the grand mansions and the medieval churches of the historic centre, extra life is breathed into the diverse theatre productions, museums, galleries and music recitals. Also contributing to this cultural atmosphere are the great culinary traditions of the local cuisine, which uses the unique local products to make the equally famous and internationally known dishes of the region. The visitor will find himself truly nurtured in body and spirit.

Only 30 kms north separates Reggio Emilia from the River Po, full of literary and film memories in the legendary places of Don Camillo and Peppone. Only 10 minutes travel south from the city to the gentle hills of Matilde, Countess of Canossa and Marquise of Tuscany, where begin the ancient paths which lead to the Gigante Park, with altitudes of up to 2000 metres. The geographical position is strategic for the traveller to make it his base and from there make daily visits to the most prestigious localities in Northern Italy: Florence, Venice, Milan, Genoa, Rimini etc.
