Farini

Farini straddles the upper Nure River valley in Emilia-Romagna’s Piacenza Apennines, and this mountain setting has shaped it into a municipality of scattered hamlets rather than one compact centre. The Nure, a tributary of the Po, runs north from these hills towards the Piacenza plain, through terrain of woodland and pasture. Farini takes its name from Luigi Carlo Farini, a 19th-century statesman involved in Italian unification. The place belongs to upper Val Nure, a rural section of the northern Apennines where small settlements follow valley roads and occupy the slopes.
