Emilia Romagna

A modern historic centre with cycling paths, urban hiking trails and open-air museums, which tells the ancient history of this town and our famous Federico Fellini, commemorated in the murals of the picturesque Borgo San Giuliano. Rimini is all this and more, a town between the sea and the land, which in just a few years, has become one of the greenest cities in Italy. A large network of cycle and pedestrian paths from the waterfront to the parks and up to the course of River Marecchia with its enchanting view of the hills. Close

Thanks to its parks, the many urban regeneration projects and the long cycle and pedestrian path on the seafront, the Green Pearl of the Adriatic is today – as in the past – an ultra‑modern town which has been capable of turning environmental sustainability and the promotion of responsible tourism into a real trend and a lifestyle.

A coastline from which to set off on green itineraries by bicycle: from the Sentieri per l’Uso cycle-pedestrian path to the hills of Romagna to be explored along the Rimini Hills Wine and Dine Route, amidst DOC wines, the Mora Romagnola and artisans of terracotta and printed fabrics. But also immerse yourself in the 25 hectares of the Mulberry Park between a walk, a bit of jogging and a visit to the ‘butterfly garden’.

It is a true naturalistic oasis surrounded by greenery, with a small port, sports facilities, riding stables and paths leading down to the golden beach. Its crystal-clear waters and sandy, sloping seabed make it an ideal holiday resort for families.

Behind Marina Romea is the Po Delta Park, a natural area with breathtaking sunsets that can be enjoyed during a walk or bike ride. This also makes Marina Romea a perfect destination for an active and sporty holiday.

It is a city to be experienced by bicycle, following the cycle path that allows you to explore the streets, breathing in the air of art and history. And you cannot miss a stop at the ‘Franco Agosto’ urban park. The green heart of the city, boasting a wide variety of animals such as swans and ducks, it is the ideal place to spend leisure time in nature. In any season of the year it also offers a poetic and evocative charm.

Forlì is not just a city! Its strategic location, just a few kilometres from the sea and the hills of Romagna, is the starting point of excursion routes that lead you to discover the hinterland, an area characterised by a riot of colours, flavours and scents.

And again, Forlì hosts the Multicentre for Sustainability and Environmental Education in Urban Areas MAUSE, with the objective of designing and implementing educational activities to raise awareness among the young and adult population on local and global aspects of sustainability.

The canals that run through the historic centre of the small town call it ‘Little Venice‘, making it a lagoon town suspended between land and water.

Surrounded by valleys, a visit to the former salt pans is a must, where an important nesting site for pink flamingos can be admired between early spring and late summer.

And during the summer season, the seven Lidi Ferraresi or Comacchio Lidi, which stretch along the Adriatic Riviera, are the ideal seaside resorts both for going on adventurous nature excursions and for relaxing and tasting the local gastronomy.

Surrounded by hills and forests, it offers an authentic, rural atmosphere. Its historic centre tells ancient stories through historical buildings such as the Church of San Giovanni Battista and the Castle of Prignano. Nature lovers can explore the Parco Regionale dell’Appennino Modenese through hiking and cycling trails. Local cuisine delights the palate with Emilian specialities such as Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Modena ham. Sports activities, including fishing and rafting, offer a complete experience for adventurers. In summary, Prignano sulla Secchia is a destination that combines history, nature and gastronomy, offering an authentic experience in the heart of Emilia-Romagna.

It owes its name to four castles that stood on four neighbouring hills: Montevecchio, Bianello, Montelucio and Montezane. Today, only the castle of Bianello remains intact. It was built by Countess Matilda of Canossa, who welcomed Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII there in 1077. It is considered a privileged holiday resort due to its natural features – the Bainello Oasis is right behind the village – and its proximity to Reggio Emilia. Don’t miss the various spring and autumn events of historical re-enactments in costume and the wine and food markets.

It is known as the “learned” city because the oldest university in the western world, conventionally set in the year 1088, was founded within its walls. But it is also known as the “fat” city, because in Bologna one eats well and some of its specialities (tortellini, mortadella, ragù) have entered the world’s culinary imagination. It is also known by many as the Red City, due to the colour that the roofs and houses have given the city since the Middle Ages, but also because it was administered for half a century by left-wing mayors, and finally as the city of arcades, named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021, with a length of over 62 km, which have become a symbol of sociability perfectly in line with the welcoming spirit of the city.
