Strung like a necklace of pearls along the Po, the cities of Emilia-Romagna form one of Italy's finest ornaments, drawing attention for truly great art and exciting cuisine, and for their congenial urbanity. Only an hour apart by train, each still has a unique personality: Ravenna aglitter with Byzantine mosaics; 'fat' Bologna, Europe's oldest university city, full of medieval monuments and tortellini; Ferrara, a Renaissance dream; opera-loving Parma, city of Corregio andprosciutto; Modena, sleek birthplace of the Ferrari; and Rimini, Italy's most buzzing beach resort.
