Reggio Emilia, Italia: Reggio Emilia is a beautiful renaissance town, typical of this northern area of Italy. Here were born the Italian flag, balsamic vinegar and parmigiano reggiano cheese. The town is surrounded by wonderful hills with lots of ancient castles, and nice little court towns with beautiful palaces. I am fascinated by cultural diversity and very curious. I live with my husband in the very city centre, in an apartment between the roofs, full of light. We also have a nice balcony where we eat in spring.
