		As a matter of fact, the province of Piacenza proved to be the ideal natural environment for pig farming, and, therefore, for the manufacturing of cured pork meats: pigs do not like direct sunlight and excessive heat, but they thrive in woodlands with plenty of water.

		That is why the cured pork meats produced in the province of Piacenza are of excellent quality, today as in the past.
