ROOMS

TOURISM

The tourist events held near the Dei Paduli Bed and Breakfast in the provinces of Reggio Emilia, Modena and Parma. We are located in the heart of the region of Emilia, where the towns are amazingly close to one another. Many smaller towns around here, still off the beaten path in terms of mass tourism, can certainly hold their own when it comes to historical-artistic merit and local foods and wines when compared to the leading cities of Parma, Reggio, Modena and Bologna. The lay of the land and the extensive road system make it possible to follow a number of itineraries and visit a great many worthwhile sites, even if located in different provinces, within the space of just one day. Or, why not, just take off spontaneously without a precise itinerary, ranging from the higher hill regions to the plain, enjoying the landscape as it passes by, exploring the many small towns, castles and nature walks as they present themselves..
Emilia is a region that has long been known for its cultural vitality, the wealth and variety of entertainment options and events designed to satisfy the most diverse tastes during any season of the year.
The internationally renowned Emilian cuisine has generated numerous areas associated with traditional specialties, food and wine itineraries, specialized food and wine festivals and even museums featuring its specialties, including:
• The Prosciutto Museum in Parma
• The Parmigiano Reggiano Museum
• The Museum of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar

The numerous restaurants and trattorias (tavern-style eateries) are amazing when it comes to the range of foods they offer, which have to be up to the standards of the Sunday meals prepared by Emilian grandmothers, experts in the, alas, vanishing art of making and rolling out the pasta dough which is the basis of tagliatelle, lasagne, tortelli and tortellini. Naturally, the Dei Paduli B&B will be more than happy to provide you with informative literature and advice to help you formulate your itineraries.

History of the Dei Paduli Farm
Originally the Dei Paduli Farm (Azienda Agricola Dei Paduli) was called AZIENDA AGRICOLA CANTINA, containing the extra word Cantina, or cellars. This name was due to the oldest building remaining on the site, a large facility dating from the 1700’s which was built for wine production, a function it continued to serve until about 1950.
Originally it was a model for all the wine producers in the area, long before the current Villa Bagno Cellars even existed. It also served as a storage facility for wheat and to this day on the ground floor one can see an old scales for weighing wine and grain carts, a piece of local history enjoyed by our guests.
The southern part of the building contains the human living quarters, once occupied by the farmer and his family.
It has been refurbished for modern living purposes without changing its name, including that of the “vinegar room” (stanza dell’aceto), where, as the name implies, balsamic vinegar was aged, although this activity is now carried out in a nearby outbuilding.
The original farmer’s quarters of the old cellar facility also houses the current Dei Paduli Bed & Breakfast.
The land is located in the municipality of Reggio Emilia, in the Paduli area, bordering on the municipality of Rubiera. The farm, for ages owned by the Parmeggiani family, was up until 1970 operated by a tenant farmer and focused on the production of grapes for making Lambrusco and cow’s milk for Parmigiano Reggiano.
In 1970 Giuseppe Parmeggiani, who had just become an agronomist, decided to operate the farm himself, moving from Milan to Reggio Emilia, to the land of his paternal ancestors. In addition to cultivating various grain crops, Giuseppe also started raising beef cattle, but gave that up in 1985 in order to devote himself, along with his son, Guido, to the cultivation of garden produce, an enterprise partly carried out organically. The main thrust of this operation was tomatoes for canning. Today the farm has returned to its roots: maintaining the organic fields, it now produces special fodder crops for feeding dairy cows whose milk is used for the production of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, cereals, Lancellotta and Grasparossa grapes for the production of DOC Lambrusco.
