Verghereto: Mount Fumaiolo
Tucked into the northern Apennines, Balze di Verghereto is a place whose character is shaped by its high, wooded setting near Mount Fumaiolo. This small settlement belongs to the municipality of Verghereto in Emilia-Romagna, close to the regional boundary with Tuscany. Mount Fumaiolo reaches 1,407 metres and is known as the source area of the Tiber, the river that crosses Rome before reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea. A stone column at the springs bears an inscription linking the river’s origin to Rome. Compact houses with tiled roofs stand among rolling ridges, woodland and the mountain farmland of the Apennine watershed.

Verghereto sits on the slopes of Monte Fumaiolo in Emilia-Romagna, where the Romagna Apennines meet the Tuscan border. The municipality includes the springs of the Tiber at Le Vene on Monte Fumaiolo, a modest mountain source that begins the river’s long course to Rome and the Tyrrhenian Sea. A column bearing the Roman she-wolf marks the spring, underlining the symbolic link between this highland setting and Italy’s capital. Small settlements such as Balze give the area a distinctly upland character, with woods, meadows and roads following the folds of the range.

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.
