Bologna and Emilia Romagna (Paperback, 2Rev ed)

Whether travelers are planning their city break in advance or want instant guidance exploring, Cadogan City Guides are the ideal companions. They provide a truly accessible way into the heart of a city, with a unique introductory full-color section packed with ideas for days out and itineraries and extensive, cross-referenced maps with all listings clearly marked (the fullest listings of any city guide available). They also include a wealth of engaging cultural and historical knowledge, along with anecdotes and colorful stories written in the enthusiastic, informed, personal way for which Cadogan is renowned.

Americans are discovering a place Europeans have known for centuries -- lovely Emilia Romagna, home of spaghetti bolognese, Pavarotti, parma ham, Lambrusco, lasagna, macaroni, and balsamic vinegar. In this newly updated guide, the only one available to this essentially Italian region, Cadogan's best-selling authors unearth treasures to compare with those of Tuscany and Lombardy. Rimini -- Italy's vast, madcap, international resort is explored, and, nestling in the region's comer, San Marino -- the world's smallest and oldest republic. This guide uncovers a region people know better than they think.
