 he first historical references to the presence of this fruit date back to the early fourteenth century. In the following centuries, the growing of peaches and nectarines spread throughout this region, long before they arrived in the rest of the country. The area of cultivation has a climate typical of a flat lowland region, though it is also influenced by the vicinity of the Adriatic. It enjoys a mean annual temperature that is higher than elsewhere in the region, and the fruit is therefore almost completely safe from the ravages of spring frost. So suited is this area to the cultivation of the crop that around one quarter of the national output comes from here. The area of cultivation encompasses many town districts in the provinces of Bologna, Forlì, Ferrara and Ravenna.
