The Imprimis Travel Design team feels the need to communicate to its customers the tragedy which hit one of the most beautiful regions in Italy: Emilia Romagna.
Region known for its culinary culture and an important artistic patrimony, mostly relevant to medieval and Renaissance periods, Emilia Romagna has been hit by a strong earthquake and more subsequent trembles leaving some area severely affected.
It is a dramatic event not just under the human and economic sense (this is a very rich area) but unfortunately also in the artistic sense, having hit some of the architectural patrimony, such as the beautiful Estense castle of Ferrara (see our blog post “following the river course”).
But we have, and can be optimistic: people, and government, are reacting fast. Unsafe buildings were demolished (included hundreds year old church towers unfortunately) but many others will be restored to their old prime. Then there are stories such the as a famous Parmigiano Reggiano producer who got all of is products compromised and had to sell it ASAP; in a few days, thanks to a quick word of mouth through the social media, almost all of the cheese of destruction was sold on the net and losses were contained!
But Emilia Romagna still has amazing towns to visit and mostly, some outstanding people. This is the people who gave the world Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati, the mentioned Parmigiano Reggiano, the world famous Barilla pasta, and the most delicious Prosciutto in Italy, both cotto and crudo ! (the renowned ham).
We are sure that the Emilia Romagna and its people will rise above difficulties and still provide the beauties and the hospitality it is famous for! like the people of Liguria completely restored to its original beauty the famous towns of the "Cinque Terre" in a matter of months after the devastating floods.
