Emilia-Romagna’s economy hinges primarily on agriculture, major industrial concerns that grew from family businesses into globally recognized names (Ferrari, Ducati, Maserati) and food production (Parma ham, Barilla etc). Without forgetting the Adriatic coast’s thriving tourist trade.

The region enjoys a high standard of living, its cities are regularly ranked high up in surveys of “best places to live”. Its medieval towns, beautifully conserved, are still hives of activity and business. All to the benefit of discerning tourists who visit them and enjoy the region’s famous cuisine.
