Located near the south
eastern corner of Italy's
Emilia-Romagna region, the Torre
Fantini claims a hilltop position amid the rolling green
landscape bordering the Foresti Casentinesi-a national
park extending southward into Tuscany. In fact, this
property was at one time part of Tuscany! Torre Fantini
is an old farm tower belonging to the family of the same
name. This family still lives in the Palazzo Fantini
located nearby the Torre1 km. away. The magical garden
surrounding the Palazzo, a 17th century residence,
belongs to the association of GreatItalianGardenswww.grandigiardini.it and is
open to the public for tours and for courtyard concerts
and plays during the summer. The village of Tredozio is
deliciously quiet, yet harbours a number of inviting
restaurants-particularly the Mulino di San Michele (in an
old mill). A ten-minute's walk takes one from the tower
to the village centre and the conveniences of grocery,
bakery, bar and bus station. |

Information
on the Area: |
Benefiting from a long history of prosperity, Emilia-Romagna is imbued with the spirit of fine living and boasts many exceptional Renaissance palaces and a particularly rich culinary heritage (lasagna, tortellini, Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar are just a few of many delicious regional innovations). A number of enjoyable excursions are easily undertaken from Torre Fantini. Faenza, with its world-famous ceramics museum and production house, is about 30 km away, and the splendid medieval fortress at Brisighella-focus of an annual medieval festival-is half as far. A drive of 50 km toward the Adriatic finds one in Ravenna, in the presence of the world's finest Byzantine mosaics outside of Istanbul, and from here it's just minutes to the wonderful resorts of the coast. The distinguished city of Bologna, 75 km northwest of Fantini, offers a delightful urban experience and, remarkably, the Tuscan capital of Florence is almost as close. |
