An aerial view of Piedmont

An aerial view of Piedmont 

RAI

http://www.expo.rai.it - Piedmont on the fly. From the Sacra di San Michele at the entrance of Val di Susa, up until the magnificent scenes of the Langhe and Roero countryside, which together with Monferrato have been declared World Heritage sites for their enchanting landscapes of vineyards. And then off to Turin, with the Mole Antonelliana, the architecture of the Savoys and the sumptuous royal residences. Do not miss the royal Palace of Venaria. Piedmont’s rice fields stretching as far as the eye are astonishing, as is the beautiful island of Isola Bella in the center of Lake Maggiore, which enchants us with its mysterious beauty.

The Emilia-Romagna canal and its fruits

EXPERIA South of the Po - The Emilia-Romagna canal and its fruits

RAI

We depart from the Po river (Salvatonica di Bondeno) next to CER’s water intake structure, a large canal carrying water that is vital for Romagna’s specialised agriculture. The canal is the result of a struggle for land reclamation and agricultural development that the people in Emilia Romagna have pursued for centuries. The region’s economic development and wealth depend on the water flowing in the canal. Irrigation techniques are experimented here for a range of cultivations, young farmers assess opportunities for entrepreneurship, it’s time to go back to the land.
