Editor's choice Emilia-Romagna

This collection highlights the diverse historical layers of Emilia-Romagna, from the 2,000-year-old Roman Bridge of Tiberius in Rimini to the sleek Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena. The region's artistic legacy is anchored by Ravenna’s UNESCO-listed Byzantine mosaics found within the Basilica of San Vitale and the Neonian Baptistery. Architectural milestones include Bologna’s leaning medieval towers, the moated Este Castle in Ferrara, and the intricate Romanesque facades of the Modena and Parma cathedrals, alongside the neoclassical tomb of the poet Dante Alighieri.
