The 2007-2013 ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) ROP (Regional Operational Programme) supported and promoted by the European Commission, aims at bringing Emilia-Romagna Region within the excellences of Europe and strengthening the concept of “Emilia Romagna: a region in Europe, with Europe”. Research, innovation, energy and enhancement of natural and cultural heritage are the main themes of the 2007-2013 ERDF ROP. Among the activities of this programme we highlight the Line IV projects for the development of different kinds and offers of sustainable tourism, which aim at creating new opportunities of access and enjoyment of Emilia-Romagna’s environmental, natural, historical and cultural heritage. These projects implemented by public administrations concern the whole region and its tourist products: the Apennine, the cities of art, the Adriatic coast, the spa resorts, the inland villages, the parks and nature reserves including Motor Valley. Thanks to Europe, the tourist offer of Emilia - Romagna is enhanced, by values and services in order to meet the growing international demand for cultural and naturalistic tourism.

This small “guide” introduce you the Line IV.1. 2007-2013 ERDF ROP projects. Follow us, we will lead you to the discovery of the sites enhanced by the interventions and of offers for “dynamic, innovative and sustainable” holidays in Emilia-Romagna.

Have a nice trip!

Emilia-Romagna looks to the future. Thanks to Europe, more culture and nature for the development of a truly sustainable tourism.

Arda and Nure Valleys historical and archaeological sites improvement, especially in Velleia Romana, to develop tourism. In particular: • Turning “alive” and “communicative” an

archaeological site which has a vital role in the North of Italy for its uniqueness and extension.

• Encouraging the number of tourists in this area by promoting interesting places from the environmental point of view (Monte Moria Provincial Park and the Piacenzian Geological Park) as well as historical and cultural venues (Vigoleno and Castell’Arquato historical villages).

Thanks to the “Ex-fienile”(former barn) renovation in Velleia, new spaces and services will be introduced: tourist welcoming areas, coffee-shops, box offices, info points and workshops. Moreover, thanks to a rich network of archaeological “micro-findings” in Velleia and outskirts, new studies and experimental excavations will be carried out. Many working activities will be organised with the possibility of spending the night in Morfasso Hostel or in Velleia city centre.

Val d’Arda archaeological heritage enhancement: Velleia Romana and its surroundings

Piacenza

Places to discover: Velleia RomanaVelleia archaeological site was a protohistoric settlement of Ligurians. In the I century B.C. the Romans turned it into a rich town. In 1747 the so-called “Tavola Alimentaria Traiana” (II century), the most important bronze document of the Roman History, was found in Velleia. The archaeological discoveries testify that this city was an attractive venue for its therapeutic waters (sodium-chloride waters). The city is characterized by elements of a typical Roman city: thermal baths, antiquarium, pistrinum, shops, dwellings, forum, basilica, water well and amphitheatre. During the summer an enchanting festival of ancient theatre representations takes place.

Piacenza

Trebbia ValleyThe Trebbia Valley is one of the most charming and suggestive valley in the territory of Piacenza with its mountains and hills which reach out the fertile valley. It is the ideal place to practice slow tourism and play open-air sports: canoeing, kayak and rafting through the narrow river gorges, golf, cycle-tourism and hiking. The town of Bobbio is the jewel of the Trebbia Valley along with Ponte Gobbo, its cathedral and its abbey founded by

Saint Columbanus in the 7th century. Human presence in this area dates back to the most remote eras. “S. Andrea” Neolithic site is located at the edge of Travo village and is one of the most important settlements in Northern Italy. Do not miss food and wine excursions, as well as visits to festivals and wine cellars where the excellent “Gutturnio” wine is produced.

The Trebbia River and the excellent environmental quality of its surrounding valley are the main tourist attractions of this area. The Appennino Piacentino Mountain Community is working in order to qualify and strengthen the tourist potential attraction of the river, its tributaries and other natural areas (SIC and Natura 2000 areas). Work schedule:• In the Municipality of Travo: Neolithic

Archaeological Park completion and improvement;

• In the Municipality of Ottone: Creation of a parking area with toilets and changing rooms, as point of departure for hiking or canyoning activities;

• In the Municipality of Bobbio: creation of a caravan parking bay, connected to Brugnello, Corte Brugnatella and Pietra Porcellara through several paths;

• In the Municipality of Cerignale: former

XXParmaThe aim of the activities is to guarantee an overall improvement of the Bardi fortress – the second biggest fortress in Europe and one of the symbols of the Parma Apennines - through structured interventions which allow the renovation of some spaces today unaccessible to visitors. All this will be made possible thanks to the reinforcement and the restoration of the parts of the building which until today have been kept under a worrying conservation condition (especially the coverings and the exterior aspect of the walls). The castle, which hosts thousands of visitors every year, after this planned intervention, will be used as an exhibition centre for temporary or thematic exhibitions, and also for conventions and events.

The building of the former Marchino Furnace – dating back to the beginning of the 20th century and important evidence of the industrial activity of the valley - has been abandoned many years ago and requires today important consolidation, restoration, conservative and rehabilitation works. Many interventions will be necessary for seismic safety reasons and for the reconstruction of the covering, moreover some works will be carried out in order to restore the southern wing of the building, which includes the blast furnaces area, the ovens and the lateritious exposed structures. After work completion visitors will have access to the towers through the balcony, at different levels, and a museum will be settled inside of the tower. This rehabilitation is part of a big urban redevelopment project promoted by the Municipality of Berceto in order to restore the local area of Ghiare.

Reggio EmiliaThe so-called “Matildica” area represents a unique landscape with great potential for tourism in the province of Reggio Emilia. The integration between the hilly areas and the medieval buildings constitutes a territorial excellence, worthy of being enhanced for tourist and cultural purposes. The project aims at highlighting the landscape and architectural sites of the area, by increasing their aesthetic and functional aspect in order to make them more attractive and enjoyable. This purpose can be achieved primarily through the significant restoration of handiwork, and secondly by creating homogeneity and conveying a coherent idea of Matilda castles network. Interventions concern the Castles of Canossa, Sarzano, Carpineti, Bianello and Magnani Palace, the buildings themselves and their surrounding areas, such as tracks, paths, open spaces and rest areas.

A massive fortification system protected the feudal state that the Countess Matilda of Canossa used to rule between the 11th and 12th century. The origin of these castles goes back to the Attonidi family, who Matilda descended from, and who had strengthen, between the River Taro and Reno areas, the northern frontier of their possessions. The defensive structures represented a guarantee of safety but also played the role of a visible symbol of authority. These castles have been destroyed and some of them have been turned into palaces and civil

residences. Today they are an important reference point for events, historical commemorations, local museums and fascinating tourist itineraries to run also on foot. Among the itineraries, do not miss the “Matilda Path” that follows the ancient High Medieval route and which, from the River Enza mouth, led to the heart of the Canossa possession, to the Castles of Rossena, Canossa, Sarzano, Carpineti, up to Toano and directed towards the Passo delle Forbici ridge through the turreted path called “Via delle Scalelle” and down towards the Tuscan possessions.

The historical and cultural heritage is a precious resource on which developing sustainable tourism, particularly in an area where important families and dynasties have ruled and influenced the civil organization. The project aims at the renovation of Renaissance palaces for tourist purposes, for the redevelopment of historical and cultural itineraries. Nowadays these Palaces have become permanent exhibition sites and documentation places of the local history. In fact they represent identity factors of the communities who lived and still live in the areas crossed by the River Po. In these buildings – Principi Palace, Bentivoglio Palace, Gonzaga Palace, Gonzaga and Este Fortresses – the history of this territory has been written. The European financed interventions concern mostly the construction of exhibition itineraries, the setting up of classrooms, the safety of structural and access elements and renovation works of significant architectural value.

Montecuccolo Castle is the biggest castle of the area. During the last 30 years it has undergone some interventions in order to restore the building and it is now both a centre for permanent exhibitions and a naturalistic museum; the last interventions concerned fire prevention, the redecoration of the castle courtyard and of the spaces outside the building. Pavullo Ducal Park dates back to the first half of the 19th century. It contains a large

number of botanic species variety, among those the “Pinone”, a monumental Lebanese citron tree. Downstream there is a pinewood which was planted in the period between the two World Wars. The two areas of the pinewood, called Higher and Lower pinewood, are to be upgraded by the creation of paths, a caravan park bay and picnic area.

Discover the Delta on a boatNavigating in the Po Delta Park is definitely an irremissible occasion to discover and approach this unique environmental area suspended between sky, water and earth. Aboard one of the many slow and silent boats you can sail peacefully the water of the great river, passing by islands and ancient lagoons, while admiring a unique and incomparable landscape. You will learn how to

recognize the different types of herons and ducks, including the characteristic stilt-walker, and finally come into contact with the civilization of the Delta and the marsh. The Po Delta, thanks to its irreplaceable naturalistic, landscape and historical value, is included among UNESCO World Heritage.

The “sweet salt of Cervia”Cervia Saltwork, gateway and station of the Po Delta Regional Park, is a very interesting environment from the naturalistic and landscape point of view, and has been included as Damp Zone of International Importance in the Ramsar convention. It is a very beautiful and charming place: populated by rare species such as Flamingos, Stilt-walkers, Avocets and

other protected species. Visits take place along thematic itineraries. Of particular interest is the so-called “productive” itinerary by boat during the hot season, when salt crystals start to deposit. Do not miss the visit to “Camillone” Saltwork, the last example of craftmade multiple harvesting, today part of Slow Food certifications thanks to the excellent quality of its “sweet salt”.

This is the hinterland of Rimini, Malatesta & Montefeltro, the land contended, during the period of the Seigniories, by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta and Federico II from Montefeltro. Everything here speaks of ancient deeds and noble arts: churches, towers, castles and fortified town centres, four of which are considered as the most beautiful Villages of

Italy and four “TCI” Orange flags. A fascinating itinerary to be discovered during a slow bike ride along the winding routes that follow the rivers and the ridges. A journey through the history, nature and taste to get in touch with authentic traditions, to enjoy the specialties that preserved these ancient tastes and sip good wines.

The Theatre rebuilding is part of a larger redevelopment project of the architectural heritage, which also includes the renovation of the Malatesta Castle and the rehabilitation of the ancient moat and the elimination of the Malatesta square parking. This intervention includes:• the rehabilitation of an important public building

from the historical, architectural and cultural point of view;

• the destination of the asset for public interest activities;

• the integration of this project with other works that have already been carried out in the town centre, such as the Domus del Chirurgo (Surgeon’s House), or which are about to be completed, such as the rehabilitation of the Castle moat;

• the support and enhancement of the town centre and its activities;

• the supply diversification and the seasonal adjustment of tourist presences, with a new and important proposal for a quality tourism.

The charm of the ancient AriminumNot everyone knows that Rimini is a major art centre, since it is mainly renowned for its beautiful beach and its great hospitality tradition. The history of Rimini goes back to ancient times. It was founded by the Romans in 268 B.C., at the mouth of the River Ariminus (today Marecchia), and the colony was very important due to freight traffic. It had a port and was crossed by three consular roads. Rimini was able to maintain its reference point role for this part of Italy over the years, thanks to the expansionistic and ruling objectives of the local Malatesta Seigniory. The town centre guards several evidence of its glorious past: the Arch of Augustus, (1st century B.C.), the Tiberius Bridge (1st century), the Domus del Chirurgo (Surgeon’s House, 2nd century), Rimini’s XIV-century paintings and the Malatesta Church (XV century), unfinished masterpiece of Leon Battista Alberti, with works by Giotto and Piero della Francesca.
