In 1997, the municipalities of twelve enchanting art cities of the Po Valley, Alessandria, Bologna, Brescia, Cremona, Lodi, Mantua, Modena, Parma, Pavia, Piacenza, Reggio Emilia and Verona, decided to created a network.
These cities by the Po river are very well linked up by roads and railways, and also by the airports of Bologna, Bergamo, Brescia, Verona and Parma.

Through this network, the Art Cities of the Po Valley, which are situated in four of the most important Italian regions (Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, Piedmont and Veneto), offer art and culture to all the visitors who are looking for new routes across exciting places and tastes.
Although they offer great tourist amenities, these precious historical centres are not museums in the open crowded by tourists; rather, they are places where it is possible to admire the architectural beauties very quietly and, most of all, get to know the art city in its present times.
We aim at offering a quick and user-friendly information system to those tourists who want to know about the main amenities of the city, the guided tours, the local products and the most important events during the year, so that they can easily draw from different sources of information to plan customized tours.
In the site there are many offers for a stay, organised according to many different subjects:
from art to nature, from gastronomy to important events; this area is worth visiting for many reasons.

We wish you a nice surf in the web, and we are waiting for you in our cities for a real visit.
