CREA IL TUO VIAGGIO TROVA AGENZIAEmilia Romagna, a region full of surprises between Lombardy and Tuscany
This is the perfect tour for whomever does not have much time to get a good glimpse of this lovely Italian region still quite off the international tourist map.
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), 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.
We will also spend a whole balmy day on gorgeous LAKE GARDA, not in Emilia Romagna, but, since it is so close, why miss the opportunity ?
