Emilia Romagna is a region of fine towns and exceptional cuisine, home to Parma ham, spaghetti bolognese and balsamic vinegar. This fully updated chapter from Blue Guide Northern Italy explores all aspects of the region in detail, from the Formula One racetrack at Imola to the stunning mosaics of Ravenna.
