The term "emilia romagna" derives from an ancient Latin phrase meaning "Roman land". Bologna is known for its rich culture and diversity.
Bologna is also famous for its cuisine that has developed over the centuries to be rich in flavors from different cultures. It uses many ingredients that are not common in other Italian dishes such as garlic, fennel seeds, saffron, almonds and vinegar.

It contains one of the most beautiful mosaics in the world, containing over 3 million pieces made of glass, stone and precious materials.
While Modena, once the capital of the kingdom of Italy under medieval rule, is known for the production of balsamic vinegar.
