‪Good morning from Riccione on the Adriatic coast with a delicious bombolone filled with crema 👌🏻😋 Perfect summer night in #Bologna's Piazza Maggiore...where we now even have an open-air cinema 👌🏻 Catching a glimpse of the Rocca di Vignola, one of the most notable examples of medieval castle in the region of Emilia-Romagna. Hiking along the ridge that is the natural border between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, while a storm hovers over Mount Cimone, at 2165m the highest peak of the northern Apennines. Luckily it didn't catch up to me! I'm in the Regional Park of the Alto Appennino Modenese, less than a couple hours drive from Bologna. 👌🏻 The Via Francigena in Emilia passes by the town of Fidenza, founded by the Romans in the 2nd century BC. Its most important monument, the Cathedral, is a masterpiece of Lombard-Romanesque architecture. Look to the side of the right tower and you'll see a frieze thought to depict pilgrims. After all, San Donnino, to whom the cathedral is dedicated, was revered by pilgrims as the saint protector of river fords. Fields dotted with hay bales are a constant sight this time of the year along the stretch of the Via Francigena that goes from Fidenza to Fornovo in Emilia.
