CREA IL TUO VIAGGIO TROVA AGENZIAEmilia Romagna and Marche, two regions, many different worlds
With this tour you will discover two regions still relatively unknown outside of Italy and their many attractions which will surprise you for their beauty, rich history, art treasures and impressive Jewish heritage locations.
After a day visiting the beautiful and glamorous MILAN, we will venture into EMILIA ROMAGNA, the homeland of world famous Italian delicacies such as the Parmesan cheese and Balsamic Vinegar and home to supercar legends like Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini. It is a region full of art cities, lovely hamlets and landscapes. The city BOLOGNA, is home to one of the world oldest universities still active since 1088. Bologna houses the world’s oldest Torah scroll and impressive Jewish heritage locations. EMILIA ROMAGNA has the oldest sovereign Republic in the world–– the tiny SAN MARINO (abt 23 sq. miles), RAVENNA, ancient capital richly decorated by byzantine mosaics, PARMA with its stunning Duomo Square as well as art and music attractions, and places like FOSSOLI and MARZABOTTO worth visiting for their significance in relation to tragic events in WW2.
From Emilia Romagna we will then move to the MARCHE, a small and beautiful region which was at the heart of the pontifical owned territories which explains fully well the vicissitudes of the local Jewish communities. Here we will be visiting many of its sites included in the Unesco’s Heritage List: medieval and Renaissance villages and towns surrounded by lovely landscapes such as JESI, FERMO and URBINO, secluded Jewish heritage sites like MONTEGIORGIO and natural wonders like the FRASASSI caves and the CONERO Riviera.
