EMILIA-ROMAGNA
Vol. 10, No. 3 Italy
January / February 2005
The Emilia-Romagna is world-famous for its wonderful pastas, award-winning balsamic vinegar, crumbly Parmesan cheese and superb local ham (prosciutto), but it has an equally impressive culture of art with some of Italy’s most treasured Romanesque churches, medieval squares and Renaissance frescoes. Parma is known as much for its famous residents and Renaissance art treasures as it is for its famous ham and Parmesan cheese. Bologna, the capital of the region and the creator of Bolognaise sauce, is also home to Europe’s oldest university. Ferrara, on the main autoroute between Florence and Venice, is a treasure of small museums housed in Renaissance palaces and is home to Italy’s oldest Palio. Where are the best hotels, which local trattorias serve the best regional specialties and when is the best time to visit? It can all be found in the Emilia-Romagna issue of The European Traveller! Subscribers may also be interested in the issues on Portofino / Cinque Terre (Vol. 10, No. 1), Tuscany (Vol. 9, No. 3), Umbria (Vol. 9, No. 6), Florence (Vol. 7, No. 3) and Rome (Vol. 8, No. 1).
