Emilia Romagna boasts some of the most beautiful towns in Italy overflowing with Byzantine art and architecture. The tranquil landscape is en lived by small villages with their traditional popular customs celebrating the different seasons with festivals and feasts. The excellent infrastructure means that you are never more than an hour from Bologna, Ravenna, Modena, Parma or the sandy beaches of the Adriactic coast. It is a region which has something for everybody. |
| BOLOGNA: the principal city of the region is in itself a treasure, boasting 38 museums, one for every kilometre of portico. It is a young city - yet also home to the oldest university in Europe housing churches and buildings each concealing countless masterpieces such as the churches of Santo Stefano and San Domenico. Close by you will find MODENA, blessed with beautiful piazzas, Romanesque cathedrals and the Estense Gallery, a true treasure chest of masterpieces from the Emiliana and Padana painting schools. FERRARA is an esoteric city evoked by Carra` and De Chirico. It has been called the first modern city of Europe, induced by the remains of the elegant court of the Estensi Princes. REGGIO EMILIA, with its two peoples theatres always announcing the latest forthcoming shows, is a city which never forgets its past: the Cathedral, the Romanesque baptistery and the Basilica of San Prospero. PARMA is magical: it is a delight to lose yourself within the galleried archways of the baptistery, the domes colourfully decorated with frescoes by Correggio and Parmegianino and to hear the beautiful opera singing coming from within the Teatro Regio. PIACENZA
is the northernmost of the provincial cities and lies between the
river Po and the green Apennine mountains. To this day its magnificent
Dome, in the mediaeval centre of the city, is perfectly preserved.
RAVENNA
is
the city of Byzantine gold, which sparkles in the mosaic patterns
in the mausoleums and basilicas. Finally,
RIMINI
with its long, wide sandy beaches, fashionable haunts and a Fellini
like atmosphere. But scratch a little beneath the surface and you
will find traces of ancient Roman Empire and masterpieces of the Italian
Renaissance. Click here if you are interested in Fractional Ownership Property in Italy. |
