Not just great food and culture—but dreamy backdrops perfect for your Instagram feed.
Here’s a selection of photogenic and authentic places that will steal your heart.

1. Borgo San Giuliano, Rimini

Pastel-colored houses, murals dedicated to Fellini, and quiet little alleys—this former fishermen’s district is one of the most picturesque spots on the Adriatic coast. Don’t miss sunset by the Tiberius Bridge.

A surreal place: the largest bamboo maze in the world is right here in Emilia-Romagna. From above, its perfect geometry makes for a truly unique shot. Ideal for drone photography or video.

4. Rocchetta Mattei, Grizzana Morandi

A castle straight out of a fairytale. Moorish, medieval, and Art Nouveau styles blend into a stunning—and mysterious—architectural gem.

5. Comacchio and its lagoons

A mini-Venice in pastel tones, Comacchio is pure poetry with its canals, bridges, and houses reflected in the water. A hidden gem for those seeking peace and authenticity.

6. The salt pans of Cervia

At sunset, the salt ponds glow pink—a surprising and highly photogenic place where nature meets tradition.

7. Street art in Bologna

From the famous murals by Blu to the edgy Bolognina district, Bologna is an open-air urban museum. Perfect for creative, city-style shots.

8. Endless vineyards

Across the hills of Modena, Parma, Piacenza (and even beyond): rows of vines, historic wineries, and rolling views that change with the seasons. Ideal for bucolic photos—and wine toasts with a view.
