Province of Piacenza

The Province of Piacenza extends from the Po River plains in the north to the Ligurian Apennine Mountains in the south, covering 2,585 square kilometers.

The Province originated as a Roman settlement in 218 BCE, later becoming part of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza under Pope Paul III in the 16th century.

The Provincial Museum network preserves artifacts from Roman times through the Renaissance, including collections from 48 different municipalities within the territory.

Located 67 kilometers from Milan, the Province connects to major cities through the A1 motorway and regular train services from the central station.

Local vineyards across the province produce specific DOC wines including Gutturnio and Ortrugo, contributing to the region's wine production designation.
