Located in the heart of the Po Valley, Forlì is in the Romagna area and borders the province of Ravenna to the north, the Adriatic Sea to the east, the province of Rimini to the south-east and Tuscany to the west. Founded by the Romans in the 2nd century B.C., it is now a city of art and culture with the presence of the university faculties of the Alma Mater Studiorum of Bologna, a new museum in the former Convent of San Domenico and the Ridolfi Airport, connected to national and international airports.
The Forlì Campus was historically founded for its connection to the School of Political Science, in particular with a course in International and Diplomatic Sciences recognised as one of the best nationwide. Since the last years of the last century, courses in economics have been developed, with the first national course in social economics, the aerospace engineering specialisation and the School for Interpreters and Translators.
Forlì is home to the Museums of San Domenico, a state-of-the-art museum structure consisting of five buildings, which offers valuable permanent and temporary exhibitions. Every year, one of the most important events related to well-being and the common good, the 'Festival del Buon Vivere', is held.
Forlì, una città da scoprire
The main sectors of its economy belong to areas of specialization including agribusiness, service and social innovation (there are many social cooperatives in the territory), aerospace (the presence of the ENAV Academy has allowed the construction of a hub connected to aeronautics, with research support structures). The territory has numerous industrial research laboratories, including the Ciclope, a unique structure of its kind and located in the Municipality of Predappio, inside a former aircraft factory (Caproni Galleries).
The area is equipped with a public transport system of buses and trains connecting the main cities located on the Via Emilia (Forlì and Cesena) to Bologna. You can thus reach the coast or the mountain areas, discovering real gems such as the Acquacheta waterfalls, the Ridracoli dam or the village of Cusercoli.
In the immediate vicinity is the town of Forlimpopoli, the birthplace of Pellegrino Artusi, scholar and man of letters and author of the famous cookbook, Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well, still one of the most widely read and used recipe books nationwide.
