All of this is traceable inside the same region, setting the borderline on the river Panaro between Modena and bologna, if we think about the emilia as to the particularly tied up earth to the north, to the " Longobardia"; to Romagna, instead, as to the "the Romans' earths" (Romania) tied up to the south.
