Albinea
Albinea is a small town in northern Italy, in the Emilia-Romagna region, in the province of Reggio Emilia. It sits about 60 kilometers west of Bologna and 10 kilometers southwest of Reggio nell’Emilia.
About 8,821 people live there (as of 2016), in an area of 44.02 square kilometers, at 166 meters above sea level. The residents are called Albinetani.
Albinea has a long history. In 980, Emperor Otto II recognized its parish church. From 1070 it belonged to the bishops of Reggio, and from 1412 to 1730 it was a fief of the Manfredi family.
Albinea borders Quattro Castella, Reggio Emilia, Scandiano, Vezzano sul Crostolo, and Viano. It was mainly rural for much of its history, but today it offers pleasant scenery between the plains and the lower hills of the Apennines, a mild climate, and easy access to nearby Reggio Emilia, making it a comfortable place to live.
The town includes several small villages, such as Borzano, Botteghe, Crostolo, and Montericco.
