<< Northeast Italy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emilia-Romagna is a region of Italy, located in the northeast of the country and composed of the historical regions of Emilia and Romagna. The region occupies an area between the Po river and the Apennines, stretching from its western border with Piedmont to the Adriatic coast to the east. In ancient times, Emilia-Romagna was inhabited by the Etruscans and later became an important part of Roman Italy thanks to the Via Emilia, a long road crossing the entire region. The area was contested between Byzantines and Lombards during the Early Middle Ages, until various free comuni<\/em> and signorie<\/em> emerged. Between the Renaissance and the 19th century, the region was mostly governed by the Papal States and a few independent duchies, until the entire Emilia-Romagna became part of the newly unified Italy. The region is now one of the wealthiest in the country, and is a hub for the automotive industry. Emilia-Romagna is also known for its rich cultural and artistic heritage, featuring many cities with medieval and Renaissance characteristics. Tourists are attracted to this region not only for the beautiful historic buildings, but also for the many seaside resorts and renowned gastronomic products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
