Journey through the Medici fortresses of Romagna

A journey through a land where history has shaped every stone, every tower, every village, in the heart of Romagna and particularly of Tuscan Romagna. The hinterland of Romagna is marked by the presence of several Medici fortresses: in Renaissance times, in fact, part of Romagna was placed under the rule of the Medici, and in general the whole region was the subject of battles and disputes, its position being decidedly important from a strategic point of view.

Thus, one can take an itinerary among masterpieces of military engineering and landscapes that look like something out of a Renaissance painting. This region tells stories of disputed borders and an expanding Florence, ruled by the Medici. From the 15th century until 1923, Romagna was a crossroads of cultures, strategies and architectural innovations.
