The region is divided into eight provinces named for their capitals. Bologna, Ferrera, Modena, Parma, Piacenza and Reggio nell'Emilia provinces are in Emilia. Forli and Ravenna are provinces in Romagna. From this region, great gastronomic delights are made. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Prosciutto di Parma and Balsamic Vinegar to name a few. Our logo, "La Sangiovesa" is a mythical character from Romagna. A maternal goddess who offers wine instead of milk. She is names after the predominant red wine grape grown in Romagna and Tuscany - "Sangiovese."
