Via Eugenio Curiel, 19, Lugo

This is the flat Romagna plain between the Santerno and Senio rivers, with intensively farmed land, drainage canals and scattered villages. Lugo is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre with arcades, services and rail links toward Ravenna, Bologna and Faenza. Ravenna, with its early Christian and Byzantine UNESCO monuments, is outside the immediate area and matters more as a service and culture destination than as part of the local landscape. The area is known for fruit growing and other intensive agriculture of the lower plain.
