Travel and Vacation in Italy

Emilia Romagna, the land of holidays. Close-by and cheap, it is washed by the Adriatic Sea and surrounded by mountain and hill ranges, rich in ancient remains and made even more precious by the excellent tourist organisation of its four great attractions: the sea, the spas, art and the Apennines. The Adriatic coast of Emilia Romagna is 80 miles long, from Comacchio to Cattolica. And the beach certainly is a great attraction for European tourists, oriented to seaside holidays, the ideal for families and children, where safety and fun are constantly, but discreetly, protected.

Here, the capitals of art are: the learned and eclectic Bologna; Parma, home to Verdi and Toscanini; Ferrara, the natural venue for great exhibitions and events; Piacenza, the Lombard-Gothic connection town; Reggio Emilia, the "Mother" of the Italian flag; Modena, a casket of art treasures; Forlì, with its medieval street structure; Cesena, which was home to as many as three Popes; Ravenna, the town of polychrome mosaics; and Rimini, with Augustan and Malatesta features together.

The one hundred and eighty miles of the Apennines are amazing and seductive, with thousands of slopes and paths cutting through shadowy and silent woods, ideal for resting or exploring new paths. The "highlands" of the region combine history and culture: the cross-roads of exchanges and communications, they were crossed by merchants, artists and pilgrims coming from Northern Europe, travelling along the pilgrimage ways, the Via Romea and the Via Francigena. Together with the "green" proposals of the summer period,
