Castles, fortresses and picturesque Medieval villages contend for the Emilia Romagna area. From the hills of Piacenza up to the Adriatic Sea, you have only to choose!

The territory is dotted with little municipalities with a few hundred souls and they are waiting for you to discover them, their art, beauty, cultural treasures and cozy family run accommodations. Brisighella, Castell’Arquato, Montegridolfo, Bertinoro, Montefiore Conca and Dozza are only some of the places worth a visit: it’s time to slow down, to embrace the local dolce vita.

In the west part of the region you might consider the Castelli del Ducato network while being in the east part the enchanted Valmarecchia valley nestled among the hills of Rimini’s hinterland and made of breathtaking landscapes and authentic villages.

Popular legends, ancient rituals and stories full of magic are intertwined with the history of Emilia Romagna. Many ghosts are said to wander through the numerous castles of the region, and sorcerers, mediums, astrologists and ghost hunters are all intrigued by the stories behind these so-called ghosts.

Keep dreaming with set-jetting! Since the “golden age of Italian cinema” in the last century, right up to the present day, numerous films have been shot in Emilia-Romagna, but more importantly, the region is home to some of the best directors, such as Federico Fellini.
