•We don’t know if you have ever heard the saying “All the roads lead to Rome” but.. IT’S TRUE 🙆🏼‍♀.

In fact, we have a special road called Via Emilia, that connects Piacenza to Rimini.

Now, you’re probably wondering what’s the connection to Rome so..

The Via Emilia not only connects Rimini to Piacenza, but it’s also connected to the Via Flaminia, that leads to Rome. The two roads become one!

•Our region is also important because it has a small independent state called Republic of San Marino 🇸🇲 with its capital that has the same name (very original...👏🏼).

Maybe it’s just a story to attract tourists, maybe not 🤷🏼‍♀😏.
