Lugo

Welcome to Lugo – Ad Majora

Nestled in the fertile plains of Emilia-Romagna, Lugo blends historical depth with a vibrant present. Shaped by the proud legacy of national hero and flying ace Francesco Baracca and the motto "Ad Majora" (On to Greater Things), the city stands for artisanal tradition, culinary mastery, and a deep sense of community. Discover the four dimensions of Lugo's identity right here as part of our project.

A visit in four acts.

The perfect Day in Lugo

A perfect day in Lugo isn't just about eating Pizza and Pasta, drinking coffee and wine and enjoying climate and culture. Although the lovely little restaurants and cozy coffee shops are definitely part of any good experience in the Emilia-Romagna the perfect day in Lugo includes a deeper experience, which encompasses the city on all sides and fully embraces the spirit of the region and enhances you with the ability to not only perceive but really understand and admire the true meaning of a perfect day in Lugo.

The taste
of the region

Our culinary journey in Lugo introduced us to the art and tradition of handmade pasta. We began by shopping for fresh ingredients together, creating an opportunity to connect with local food culture. The following day, we transformed these ingredients into traditional pasta varieties, including tagliatelle, passatelli, garganelli, cappelletti, and orecchioni (tortelloni). Through preparing, shaping, and sharing these dishes, we gained a deeper appreciation of Lugo’s culinary heritage and the role of food in bringing people together.

“Where encounters turn into friendships”
Town twinning is about more than simply visiting another place.
It brings people together, forges friendships and helps to break down barriers and turn cultural differences into opportunities for connection.
Every encounter, every shared experience and every moment of open interaction contributes to the mosaic that leads to greater understanding, tolerance, solidarity and last but not least, peace in our world..

The Soul of
the City

Understanding Lugo means discovering how the city is lived, not simply how it looks. Its identity can be found in the weekly market under the Pavaglione, local food, celebrations, music, and everyday interactions. Lugo’s character has been shaped by its agricultural and commercial history, strong sense of community, and connection to Romagna. Some traditions are visible, while others appear through local expressions, humour, gestures, sounds, and unwritten social habits. Exploring these traditions and everyday experiences helps visitors better understand the culture, people, and unique spirit of Lugo.

Making -of

Behind the scenes of “KULTUR BEGEISTERT – ESSEN VERBINDET”

How does an intercultural media project come to life? Our "making-of" feature shows the journey from the initial brainstorming session to the finished one-pager.

Working in small teams and sharing tasks, we tested professional lighting, audio, and camera equipment, captured macro shots, and staged culinary highlights. Artificial intelligence assisted us with storytelling and seamless translation into three languages (German, English, and Italian).

The result is a multimedia project fueled by team spirit, technical experimentation, and a genuine passion for cultural exchange!

Reflection and Feedback

Beyond our practical tasks and creative explorations, our project week in Lugo was defined by deep collaboration and continuous exchange. After completing our assignments, our international teams engaged in a structured meta-reflection on their teamwork, analyzing group dynamics, communication styles, and shared learning experiences.

Here you can explore the final outcomes of this collaborative journey—including the concise four-sentence "Making-Of" summaries created by each team to capture their overall experience, alongside the evaluation results of our reflection and course feedback surveys.
