The Emilia-Romagna region of Italy is proudly home to nine captivating, extremely productive provinces and has one of the most diverse landscapes one can experience. From its breathtaking medieval and Renaissance architecture, castles, and cities scattered across its terrain to being caressed by the sparkling blue Adriatic Sea to the east, bordered by the lush Apennine Mountains to the west, filled with lush forests and caves, and home to numerous thermal springs, and two national parks: Emilia-Romagna has it all.

As one of the wealthiest regions in Europe, it's no surprise that it produces some of the fastest and most luxurious Italian vehicles in the automotive industry. However, its delectable gastronomic delicacies and cuisines, and tantalizing Lambrusco wine — according to Frommer's — are for the record books, and should not be missed when visiting.
