The Emilia Romagna region
Emilia-Romagna holidays in Northern Italy stretch from the Ligurian sea across to the Adriatic, and incorporate popular beach resorts, fascinating ancient towns, and diverse countryside filled with mountains, forest and plains.
The region of Emilia-Romagna primarily attracts visitors to its' coastline full of sandy beaches in the south, yet the area inland remains relatively undiscovered by tourism, and the towns and cities of Bologna, Modena, Parma and Ravenna offer a wealth of art, history and culture to discover, as well as some of the best food in all of Italy.
Bologna / Camugnano area
There is a saying that the Bolognese do not realize how beautiful their city is. Actually, they are well aware of it! Bologna is the result of a magical and alchemic mixture of art and culture. It has 12 city museums, 1 national museum, 4 church museums, 4 private-owned museums, 16 University museums and an invaluable Jewish museum.But it is also a lively and cheerful place, brought alive by the thousands of university students who have been flocking to the Alma Mater Studiorum – the oldest University in the world – every year since 1088 AD, the year of its establishment.
When nights get warmer and the stars come out, Piazza Maggiore puts on its summer dress: the steps in front of the Basilica of San Petronio become crowded with young people chatting into the night. The café on the ground floor of the Palazzo del Podestà gets its tables out so customers can sip coffee in the open air while listening to the sound of water gurgling in the 16th-century Fontana del Nettuno (whose nudes caused quite a scandal when it was unveiled).
Piazza Maggiore is the right place to start exploring the heart of Bologna. Here you will find San Petronio, one of the largest Catholic churches in the world. A brass sundial, designed by the astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini in 1665, stretches along its pink marble floor. On the same square you will find the Palazzo d’Accursio, now the Town Hall, which looks rather like a fortified citadel with towers and crenellated walls. The statue of Pope Gregory XIII blesses passers-by from its front wall. The Palazzo d’Accursio houses several hidden treasures.
Walk through its inner courtyard to the grand staircase; on the first floor you will find the Sala Ercole and the Sala Rossa, two frescoed halls overlooking Piazza Maggiore. On the second floor are the Grand Hall, a chapel (Cappella Farnese), the city art collections and the Museo Morandi named after the famous still-life painter Giorgio Morandi (his sister donated several of his works to Bologna). In Piazza Nettuno you can also enter the Palazzo d’Accursio through the Sala Borsa. Marble galleries, frescoed vaults, and crystal floors over the forum of ancient Bononia (Bologna’s name in the Roman age) provide a fascinating context for a busy public library, open 7 days a week from 9,00 am to midnight.
The Sala Borsa is equipped with one of the largest public multimedia libraries in Europe and several PCs for Web searches. Other sights to see are: the archaeological museum (Museo Civico Archeologico) and its popular ancient Egyptian collection; the national gallery (Pinacoteca Nazionale), which includes works by international favourites like Giotto, Raphael, Parmigianino, Carracci, Guido Reni; the former monastery of San Giovanni in Monte and the small but romantic square fronting it; and the unhallowed church of Santa Lucia in via Castiglione, that is now the great hall of the University.
But if you really want to make the most of Bologna, just take a stroll under its porticoes, which are the longest in the world (47 km, or almost 30 miles!). Be sure to check out the picturesque alleyways around the two towers which dominate the city. (By the way, if you have good lungs and a head for heights, try climbing the steps that lead to the top of the tallest tower, the Torre degli Asinelli). Then, when the sun goes down, dress up and buy a ticket to one of the dozen shows or concerts staged every night in Bologna’s theatres – such as the Teatro Comunale, more an opera temple than just an opera house.
