Product Description:
Americans are discovering a place Europeans have known for centuries - lovely Emilia-Romagna, home of spaghetti bolognese, Pavarotti, Parma ham, Lambrusco, lasagna, macaroni, balsamic vinegar and much more. Now fully redesigned, this new edition of the only guide available to this essentially Italian region contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. Cadogan's best-selling authors unearth treasures to compare with those of Tuscany and Lombardy: visit beautiful Bologna, a city whose historic center is considered one of the best preserved and maintained in Italy, and the pretty mountain valleys that lead to the Apennines. Rimini, Italy's vast, madcap, international resort is explored, as is San Marino, the world's smallest and oldest republic, nestling in the region's corner. This guide uncovers a region people know better than they think.

I purchased this book prior to studying abroad in Bologna, and it has been an essential part of traveling in the region. If you plan on taking day trips throughout Emilia-Romagna this book will lead you to all the important things, especially where to eat! The histories and descriptions are witty and informative and seem to explain the sites better than most other guides I have encountered. My only complaint is that only the bigger cities (Bologna, Parma, Ravenna, etc) have maps, so you might find yourself a little lost if you don't find the tourist office or someone to point you in the right direction. It is really a great purchase that I would recommend for anyone who plans to travel or live in the region.

I got this book as a planning guide for a trip to the Emilia romagna region in the next year or so. Most guidebooks ignore this region because it is a mainly agrarian part of the country. It seems to be well organized and easily makes a case for spending a week to ten days in the region. I think for folks who want to explore the heartland of italian cooking this is probably the right book. I think one of the nice touches is they identify several country Inns that seem to be nice alternatives to city hotels

We traveled to Bologna and Emilia cities and Appenines in September 2008. We loved every minute of it- great food, nice people, and beautiful scenery. This book gave us the best recommendations for restaurants and hotels, with interesting historical background. Well written and fluent.
