3 of the best wellness itineraries in Emilia Romagna

3 of the best wellness itineraries in Emilia Romagna

The power of nature has incredible effects on psycho-physical well-being and Emilia Romagna, among picturesque villages and quiet valleys surrounded by greenery, one of the most beautiful Italian destinations for wellness tourism. A region where it is easy to enjoy authentic experiences, whether you choose to immerse yourself in history, take advantage of the therapeutic power of the spas or enjoy the renowned cuisine. Wellness tourism in these parts can be found in a thousand ways and it takes very little to unwind, relieve tensions and rediscover deep relaxation. Have you ever tried, after a stressful day, to walk in the woods surrounded by trees and plants or to walk barefoot in the vegetation? The body's response was certainly not far behind, with renewed optimism and an almost forgotten sense of peace. In Romagna there is no shortage of opportunities to indulge in these experiences and, whether for a short weekend or a longer stay, the art of good living can be breathed in every corner. Choosing a destination is not the only essential step in ensuring a wellness holiday. Planning an itinerary in advance is always a good idea. Seeking the support of a local expert, both before and during the tour, is another useful tip to discover hidden curiosities and glimpses of a destination you are getting to know for the first time. A final tip is to think of a slow journey, one that allows you to savour every moment, without the urge to see as much as possible and end up getting tired without appreciating anything.

In Campania, where food culture is a way of life

In Campania, where food culture is a way of life

From the delicious fish delicacies of the seashore to the mozzarella and other dairy products of the coastal plains, to the meats and mature cheeses of the high hills and mountains, via vegetables, fruit and forest products: Campania is a cornucopia of flavours. Pizza, an intangible heritage of humankind and the best known Campanian dish around the world, is an international star and can be eaten throughout the entire region, especially in Naples. If you are curious to know how to bake the "Verace Pizza Napoletana", you must know that since 1984 an international Disciplinary has been in operation to promote and protect this iconic dish in Italy and around the world. First courses include spaghetti al pomodoro (spaghetti with tomato sauce), maccheroni al ragù (with meat and San Marzano tomatoes), soups with pasta and beans, minestra maritata (with vegetables and meat), gnocchi alla sorrentina, and macaroni fritters. Meat dishes include braciole (meat rolls with grated pecorino cheese, pine nuts and sultanas cooked in fresh tomatoes), potato gattò, and rabbit alla cacciatora, from an ancient Ischian tradition. On the coast, treat your palate to drowned octopus, mussel stew or a mixed fry of potato croquettes, rice croquettes, panzerotti, pasta cresti, and seasonal vegetables. Still a hole in your stomach? There's the buffalo mozzarella, in the Casertana and Salernitana variants. On the dessert front, roccocò, mostaccioli, struffoli speak of Christmas, while Easter time is marked by the pastiera and the sweet casatiello. Babà and sfogliatella take pride of place, with a special mention for torta Caprese, while quality wines play on all fronts: from Falanghina to Greco di Tufo, from Falerno del Massico to Fiano di Avellino, to name but a few.
