Emilia-Romagna is a region of Northern Italy. It has a roughly rectangle triangular shape, bounded on the East by the Adriatic Sea, on the North by the Po river and on the South by the Appennines. A densely populated region (especially in the plain half), Emilia Romagna is one of the richest Italian regions, and is also generally regarded as one of the nicest to live in. The Emilia-Romagna cuisine is one of the most characteristic of Italy.
Agriculture is the most important economic activity: grain, potatoes, maize, tomatoes and onions are the most important, along with fruit and grapes for the production of wine (of which the most famous is perhaps Lambrusco). Cattle breeding is also highly developed, especially for pig and bovine breeding.
Emilia-Romagna industry is also healthy, especially the food industry and tourism along the Adriatic coastline.
The principal city is Bologna, an historic, cultural and entertainment center of national importance. Other important cities include Parma, Piacenza, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Rimini, Ferrara, Forlė, Cesena and Ravenna. Most of these towns are linked by the Roman road Via Aemilia.
Area is about 22,123 km2,
Population is about 4,000,000.
