Villetta a schiera in Via Travaglioli

This is in the Reggio Emilia Apennines, with wooded hills and ridgelines of the northern Apennines around the upper valleys south of the Po plain. The Secchia valley is nearby to the east and the Enza valley lies to the west, shaping the local hill country. The Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano begins farther south on the higher crest, and the Pietra di Bismantova near Castelnovo ne’ Monti is the main named landscape feature in the area, a sandstone rock massif visible within the wider local zone. The nearest substantial town is Reggio Emilia, which provides the full range of services, rail links and city amenities. This part of the province is known for chestnut woods, mountain pasture and Parmigiano Reggiano production.
