Cadogan's new guide is the first ever to highlight this increasingly popular corner of Italy, which offers the country's most renowned cuisine and some of its finest works of art - not only in Bologna, but in a string of polished and cultured towns: Parma, Modena, Ferrara and Ravenna, From spectacular Byzantine mosaics and Correggio frescoes to flamingo-watching on the Adriatic or the cosmopolitan beach scene of Rimini, Cadogan offers you a serious region that's lots of fun. This guide includes witty, informative insights into history, festivals, food and culture, listings on where to eat, sleep, shop and party as well as practical, reliable advice on finding the best tortellini, art, wine or ceramics.

From the Back Cover:

Gloriously rich in art, architecture, history and mouthwatering gastronomy, Emilia-Romagna is bisected by an arrow-straight road – with hills on one side and the flat hinterlands of the Po on the other – that connects a series of fascinating cities, each with its own idiosyncrasies. From the bustling beaches of Rimini to the medieval monuments of Bologna, from the glittering Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna to opera-loving Parma, this part of Italy positively overflows with jewels for the visitor. The surrounding countryside is full of surprises too: flocks of flamingos in the lagoons of the Adriatic, or ski resorts and cherry festivals in the Apennine mountains. The region is also home to the world's smallest republic, San Marino.

Inside you will find:

* Practical travel advice
* Over 200 hand-picked places to stay
* Over 200 restaurants, bars and cafes
* 22 maps and site plans
* color touring-map section
* stunning color photographs
* the best of the region: food, festivals and Ferraris
