The flat land north of the via Emilia offers different points of interest and different reasons for a visit. The importance of this territory, however, lies in the figure of Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), who was born in a nearby village called Roncole and who lived in Busseto for a great part of his life. The Maestro still fascinates music lovers and people who are interested in the life of this composer.
Thanks to the environmental characteristics of the Padana flat land along the Po River, an important role in this territory’s life is played by the prolific production of delicious cold cuts, among which we find salami, coppe, fiocchetti and the king: culatello.
The area around Busseto can be visited in every period of the year. Here Verdi is still alive and testimonies of his life are visited frequently.
