CASINA CENTRO: Piano 1 con utenze autonome !!

The area is in the northern Apennines, in the hills of the Reggio Emilia province. The Secchia valley lies to the east and the Enza valley to the west, and the landscape around Casina is a mix of wooded slopes, pasture and small cultivated clearings. Pietra di Bismantova, the isolated sandstone massif above Castelnovo ne' Monti, is within the local area and is the main named natural feature. Much of this part of the Apennines falls within the Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. The nearest town of some size is Castelnovo ne' Monti, which has the main local services and shops for the mountain area. The zone is known for Parmigiano Reggiano production and for the Matildic castles of the Reggio hills, including the castle remains at Sarzano near Casina.
