Italy's Bologna & Emilia Romagna, Italy's Veneto & Dolomites
Sold Out
Two half-hour shows featuring:
Italy’s Bologna & Emilia Romagna: Known the world over for its wheels of golden cheese, its sweet prosciutto and divine vinegar, this slice of Northern Italy is a feast. From our base in Bologna we eat our way across the region, taking in the glorious art and culture along the way: cheese and mosaics in Parma, Balsamic vinegar and racecars in Modena, ham, pasta and university life in Bologna. An excursion to the mountainous Apennines, a trip to Ravenna’s brilliant 6th century mosaics and a beach resort at Rimini round out the adventure.
Tips on sampling the region’s delicacies and agri-tourism hotels.
Italy’s Veneto & Dolomites: Graced with charming cities, countryside villas and precious art, this corner of Northern Italy also features a playground of Alpine peaks and meadows. After a spectacular night at the opera in fair Verona’s Roman arena, we set out in search of Giotto’s colorful frescoes in Padua and architect Palladio’s palatial villas in Vicenza and the surrounding countryside. Then we head for the hills and the dramatic peaks and meadows of the Dolomite mountains.
Tips on touring the Veneto countryside, shopping for gold and staying in a mountain inn.
