Come with me as I visit Emilia-Romagna, a personal favorite Italian destination.
I must confess, I am new to the Italy scene. Yes, I admit this. I’m a neo-Italophile.
My first trip to Italy was only in April of 2014, however to say this trip was life changing, is an understatement.
In the past 8 years, I have had the privilege of returning to this beautiful country numerous times including living there for 5 months back in 2018. Italy is truly a gift that keeps on giving. In fact, I found the best version of myself while living there.
When I thought of Italy, back in the day, I thought of Italy as a whole. Literally, that is it. Then maybe, Rome and Florence. But at that time, I lumped Italy into one category.
Well, let me tell you something… Italy is not just Italy. The regionality of this country is its greatest gift of all. The way each region takes such pride in their culture is truly impressive.
Now when I think of Italy, I think of it in terms of Lazio, Campania, Piedmont, and oh so often, Emilia-Romagna. Oh, Emilia-Romagna, how I love you so.
