Link with the geographical area Romagna is the easternmost part of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
It extends from the Adriatic coast in the east to the border with the Province of Bologna in the west, and from the border with the Marche Region in the south to the border with the Province of Ferrara in the north.
It has a temperate, sub-continental climate that varies with altitude and distance from the coast.
While the climate of Romagna does not differ greatly from that of the rest of northern Italy, it has its own characteristics owing to the gradual narrowing of the plain.
