Emilia Romagna

The food valley of Italy, Emilia Romagna stands for Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, lasagna bolognese, Lambrusco wine, and Massimo Bottura. Iconic for its salumi (read: mortadella, prosciutto di Parma, culatello) and plates of fresh pasta such as cappelletti and tortellini. Then there is the balsamic! Traditional Balsamic Vinegar from Modena and Reggio Emilia. It's not all food, the region of Bologna, Ferrara, and the Adriatic Riviera is also the birth place of car culture: Ferrari, Ducati, Maserati, and Lamborghini.
