Bradt's new Emilia-Romagna is the most thorough and in-depth guide
available to this entire north Italian region (not just Bologna and
the main cities) with a strong focus on history, background
information, art and culture, as well as extensive detail on the
Apennines along the Tuscan border, where you can escape the
flatlands of the Po and go trekking, cycling and skiing. Here are
some of region's prettiest villages, including Vignola, famous for
cherries and lovely medieval Castell'Arquato and Brisighella. To
the east, the Romagna part of this hyphenated region boasts long
sandy Adriatic beaches, wildlife-filled lagoons around the Po
Delta, and the world's smallest republic, San Marino. Written by
expert authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, possibly the world's
most experienced travel writers on Italy, Bradt's Emilia-Romagna is
the definitive guide to this diverse and authentic area. Bologna,
the regional capital, is covered in detail, from accommodation and
restaurants to galleries, museums, shopping and the new FICO Eataly
food theme park. Emilia-Romagna combines the rich farmlands of the
Po plain with dazzling cities strung like pearls along the
straight-as-a-die Via Emilia. The capital, Bologna, home to the
world's oldest university, and the smaller cities of Parma, Modena,
Ferrara, Piacenza, Ravenna and Rimini are year-round destinations,
each strikingly different, each filled with art and architectural
masterpieces and fascinating museums housing everything from
Etruscan vases to still life by Giorgio Morandi. Ravenna glitters
with Byzantine mosaics; Parma, the town of Correggio, is mad about
opera; Modena, with its stupendous medieval cathedral, is the
hometown of Pavarotti and Ferrari; Ferrara has delightful early
Renaissance frescoes; Rimini was immortalised by Fellini in
Amarcord. With Bradt's Emilia-Romagna you can discover all of this
and more. With 22 town and area maps, plus language, art and
architecture glossaries, full practical information and all the
background context you could need, Bradt's Emilia-Romagna is the
perfect companion for art lovers, food lovers, families taking a
beach holiday and city-break enthusiasts of all ages.
