The flat land North of the via Emilia offers different points of interesr and different reasons for a visit. The importance of this territory however, lies in the figure of Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), who was born in a nearby village called Roncole and who lived in the close Busseto for a great part of his life. The Maestro still fascinates music lovers and people who are interested in the life of this composer, profoundly linked to our Risorgimento age.
