Lizzano in Belvedere
Corno alle Scale lies along a ridge of the northern Apennines, where broad highland pastures and ski runs meet forested valleys near the border of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. Rising to 1,945 metres, it is the highest summit in the Bolognese Apennines and the focal point of the Corno alle Scale Regional Park. The mountain’s distinctive, layered summit gives it its name, meaning “horn of the steps”. Its ski area is closely linked with champion Alberto Tomba, who trained here as a young racer, while the surrounding park protects a mosaic of beech woodland, grassland and mountain streams. Traditional upland grazing and outdoor sport both remain part of this Apennine landscape.

The Corno alle Scale massif defines the setting of Lizzano in Belvedere — wooded Apennine slopes, high pastures and winter snow shape this mountain community in the upper Reno valley. Part of the Metropolitan City of Bologna, the town is closely connected with the Corno alle Scale ski area, while routes through beech woods lead towards the higher ground of Corno alle Scale Regional Park. The hamlet of Vidiciatico is another local focal point, and the Sanctuary of Madonna dell’Acero reflects a longstanding Marian pilgrimage tradition in this section of the Apennines.

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.
