Piacenza sits equidistant between Milan and Parma on the A-1 Autostrada. It is a 2 hour drive from Turin or Genoa. It sits at the confluence of the Po and Trebbia Rivers. Throughout its 2000+ year history, it is has been ruled over by the Gauls, the Romans, the Holy Roman Empire, the French, the Pope (Leo X), the Duke of Parma, the House of Bourbon, Napoleon, the Hapsburg Empire, and finally the Kingdom of Sardinia before finally being annexed into Italy. It is known for salt cured pork products: pancetta, coppa, and salame. The locals speak in the Piacentino dialect. Piacenza, and its surrounding hills, the Colli Piacentini, are ‘old’ Italy.
