"'By far the most comprehensive guidebook' - Daily Telegraph"
Product Description
This title explores Bologna, the most sane, scholarly and handsome city in Italy, and a Mecca for art-lovers. It visits the polished, cultured towns of Parma and Modena; views spectacular Byzantine mosaics and Correggio frescoes; goes flamingo-watching on the Adriatic; and enjoys the cosmopolitan beach scene of Rimini and the tiny, incredibly wealthy republic of San Marino. 'Beware the attractive medieval castle at Gropparello; once the home of honest robber barons, it now houses the Parco della Fiabe, or 'Fairytale Park', advertised as the 'first parco emotivo in Italy', where under-employed Italians dressed as elves, gnomes, witches, Celtic druids, knights, damsels and talking trees will do their best to amuse you and your offspring. They say the castle is haunted too.'

This guide is packed with loads of useful information written in a witty and entertaining style. If your time is limited, the authors point you to the key features of each place. I also enjoyed the historical backgrounds. I found the information was up to date and accurate. I would have liked a few more photographs to help identify places but this is a small quibble. Although this region is not particularly well-covered by guidebooks, this volume sets such a high standard that I don't think another one is required!

Disappointed with the book. It gave me all the information I needed about the places I was visiting. However,it is the only guide book I have ever purchased that did not have any pictures in it! Without them to break up the text I found it very difficult and uninspiring to read. Had I looked at this book in a shop I certainly would not have purchased it.
