Cesari has noticed a distinct reversal in tourism demographics, compared to previous years. While the majority of Umberto Cesari’s visitors have been from the U.S. or northern Europe, locals from Emilia-Romagna have accounted for 67.4 percent of visitors in 2020, and 15 percent of the remaining tourists are Italian. “It is unfortunate that we will be unable to welcome guests from the U.S. this year, since Americans make up a large part of our international visitors,” he says, “but we are very happy to see an influx in domestic travel.”
