San Felice sul Panaro
San Felice sul Panaro combines the quiet scale of a lowland town with the agricultural energy of Emilia-Romagna in a way that reflects its position on the Po Plain. The municipality takes its name from the Panaro, a tributary of the Po that runs through the wider Modena area. Fields and settlements extend across this notably flat part of northern Italy, where farming has long shaped local life. At its centre stands the Rocca Estense, a fortress associated with the Este family; badly damaged in the 2012 Emilia earthquakes, it became an emblem of the area’s reconstruction. San Felice belongs to the province of Modena, known internationally for Parmigiano Reggiano and traditional balsamic vinegar.

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.
