Sestola: Monte Cimone
Sestola lies on the slopes of Monte Cimone in the northern Apennines, where wooded ridges, pasture and small cultivated clearings shape the Frignano landscape. At 2,165 metres, Monte Cimone is the highest summit of the northern Apennines and gives this part of Emilia-Romagna its distinctly mountainous character. The town developed beneath the Rocca di Sestola, a fortified complex that has long overlooked the surrounding valleys and now includes museums dedicated to mountain life. Sestola is one of the principal access towns for the Monte Cimone ski area, while the surrounding Apennines support walking, cycling and rural stays. Its compact historic centre gives way to farms and forested slopes.

Emilia-Romagna occupies a broad stretch of the Po Valley and northern Apennines in Italy. From the agricultural plains around Modena and Bologna, the region extends northeast towards the Adriatic, where the wetlands of the Po Delta meet the sea. Wooded Apennine ridges give its southern districts a contrasting terrain. Bologna is home to one of the world’s oldest universities, founded in 1088, while Modena is closely linked with traditional balsamic vinegar. Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma are further markers of a food culture known well beyond Italy. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Emilia-Romagna.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
