From Riccione to Florence, fatherland of the Italian language and the Renaissance. The most significant monuments are concentrated in the historical center of the city, declared UNESCO World Heritage, since 1982: Piazza della Signoria, Galleria Degli Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio…it seems to have treasures in every angle!

Along the road SR 258, from the Adriatic coast, in one hour you reach Tuscany, you cross
Valdarno and then you arrive in Florence. The journey is an interesting voyage to underline the points of contacts between Tuscany and Romagna. Sweet hills, wonderful landscapes of cultivated grounds. A secular experience in the typical cultivations: vineyard and olive trees.
Grapes used to obtain Chianti wine, the most famous among Italian wines, is the grape of Sangiovese. The fatherland of Sangiovese is Romagna and in the last ten years, this wine raised visible and constant qualitative growth and has obtained the labels: IGT, DOC., DOC. Novello, DOC. Superior.

Today, Romagna is also an excellent producer of extra vergin olive oil. This olive oil is an high range oil and has obtained the Denomination of Protected Origin (D.O.P.) “Hills of Romagna”, thanks to its quality and to low acidity.

In November, many country festivals are organized in honour of these excellent products, we report “Fiera dei Becchi” (S.Arcangelo di Romagna) to taste Sangiovese Doc. Novello and “Festival of the olive oil and the products of autumn” (Coriano), to taste “the new oil”.

As on Tuscan hills, in the hinterland you find many small well preserved medieval boroughs, castles, churches and convents. Many foreign, English and Dutch tourists, have already discovered the beauties of the Adriatic hinterland and, as it occurred in Tuscany, buy old houses, historical one or whole boroughs to restructure!

The are many resemblances, to you the pleasure of discovering them!
