Welcome to the Province of Ravenna!
Hello everyone! Today I will talk to you about the Province of Ravenna, a wonderful area of Emilia-Romagna that borders many other Italian provinces.
History
Our province has a very interesting history. It was established in 1859, in anticipation of the annexation of Emilia to the Kingdom of Sardinia, and included three districts within it. In 1884, some of its municipalities were ceded to the Province of Bologna.
Symbols
The Province of Ravenna has a coat of arms that dates back to 1938 and is composed of several parts with specific meanings. The banner, on the other hand, is a blue flag.
Honors
Our province has received numerous honors over the years, for its historical and cultural importance.
Physical Geography
Territory
The Province of Ravenna is a very diverse area, including coastal, plain, and mountainous areas. Our territory extends along the Romagna coast and includes areas that are very different from each other.
Hydrography
Our province is crossed by several rivers, including the Reno, Lamone, Senio, Fiumi Uniti, Montone, Ronco, Bevano, and Savio. Also noteworthy are the Candiano Canal, which connects Ravenna to the sea, and the Naviglio-Zanelli Canal, which connects Faenza to the Reno and the sea.
Our hydrography is very complex, due to the reclamation of the territory, which transformed what was once a huge lagoon into a unique coastal area in the world. Even today, wetland lagoon areas are one of the natural treasures of our province.
