5819 You may have the Universe if I may have Emilia Romagna!!
This is what one of the Emilia Romagna's most famous sons might well have said!!!!
EMILIA ROMAGNA is one of the most extensive of Italy's 20 regions and is made up of 9 provinces:
PIACENZA-PARMA-REGGIO EMILIA-MODENA-FERRARA-BOLOGNA-RAVENNA-FORLI CESENA and RIMINI.
Offering everything from mountains to coastal resorts, culture to some of Italy's best food and most of what has become known as the best of Made in Italy the worl over.
Prosciutto di Parma, Parmesan Cheese (cue for that little annoying song they now use on the new telly ad----Pa pa pa pa parmigiano--re re re re reggiano)
Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, Salami and Culatello di Zibello, Zampone and Cotechino again from Modena, Mortadella from Bologna, The famous funghi from Borgotaro, Piadina, Grana Padano (the poor man's parmesan ) and one of Italy's most famous pasta names Barilla.
Parma is home to the European Food Authority and the entire region offers some of the best places to eat in the entire country.
Other famous Emilia Romagna products which have taken the world by storm:
FERRARI-LAMBORGHINI-MASERATI and DUCATI.
So luxury is also at home in the region of Emilia Romagna.
Infact Parma, Modena and Bologna are often to be found in the top ten list of Italy's richest cities.
The popolo of Emilia Romagna are also amongst some of the most friendly and hospitable and not only enjoy good food and wine but also a good tune as
Giuseppe Verdi (Joe Green doesn't sound quite right), Toscanini and of course more recently "Big Luciano" can testify.
So for the best of the best Emilia Romagna won't let you down.
