Bologna and Emilia Romagna (Cadogan Guides)

Synopsis

This title explores Bologna, the most sane, scholarly and handsome city in Italy, and a Mecca for art-lovers. It visits the polished, cultured towns of Parma and Modena; views spectacular Byzantine mosaics and Correggio frescoes; goes flamingo-watching on the Adriatic; and enjoys the cosmopolitan beach scene of Rimini and the tiny, incredibly wealthy republic of San Marino. 'Beware the attractive medieval castle at Gropparello; once the home of honest robber barons, it now houses the Parco della Fiabe, or 'Fairytale Park', advertised as the 'first parco emotivo in Italy', where under-employed Italians dressed as elves, gnomes, witches, Celtic druids, knights, damsels and talking trees will do their best to amuse you and your offspring. They say the castle is haunted too.'
