It was in Roman times that the valley became a place of transit and trade along what was known as the Lombard Salt Road, an ancient route linking the Po Valley to the coast in Liguria. This supply of salt and spices played a key role in the development of cured meat production.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][\/vc_column][vc_column 0=””]
