The wine of Romagna is the result of a lush territory located between the sea and the Apennines, where hills are covered in orchards and vineyards, surrounded by farmhouses, villages, towers and fortresses.   In the land of Romagna, hospitality is a cult and is perceived above all far from mass tourism, penetrating along the Via Emilia into the hinterland of Romagna, where at every corner one encounters an inviting lure:  from markets to fairs, from hills covered with vineyards, to unforgettable flavors.

Would you like to learn how to roll out the dough to make a fantastic homemade pasta dish yourself? This workshop is for you!   The “sfogline”* of the Mercato Coperto, bearers of rolling pin and wisdom, will teach you how to prepare the real cappelletto romagnolo. *The “sfoglina” (pasta maker) is historically seen as a middle-aged woman who, using a rolling pin and a pastry board, "rolls the dough" strictly by hand to create the base for tagliatelle, tortellini and other stuffed and unstuffed egg pasta. Cappelletti are, for Romagna, a dish charged with a symbolism of well-being, wealth and opulence. In the past, wishing "cappelletti on the table and throughout the year", was in fact one of the most heartfelt and appreciated wishes.
