Day 1.: BOLOGNA
Arrival at the airport of Bologna. Meeting with English speaking assistant and transfer to the centre for an half-day guided tour of this splendid city. We will take a walking tour through this fascinating medieval town and will discover the artistic treasures around its charming main squares, Piazza Maggiore and Piazza del Nettuno. At the end stop in a typical “bottega”(shop) to taste the traditional products (pasta, mortadella, salami, etc). Driving further west to the home of balsamic vinegar we see how this signature product is made and we sample varieties of heavenly-scented balsamic vinegar. Dinner in a typical Acetaia and overnight at the hotel in the region of Modena.
Day 2: PARMA
This morning we head to the Parma area, home of the legendary parmigiano reggiano (Parmesan cheese) and the famous Parma-ham. First we visit a traditional Parmesan cheese factory. After watching the workers go through all the fascinating steps in making the cheese and visiting the incredible storage rooms, we nibble on parmesan cheese made right in the factory. After lunch guided visit of Parma, starting from the medieval Piazza Duomo, dominated by one of the greatest Romanesque cathedrals in Italy. It is noted for its classic gable facade, double loggia and its dome, frescoed by Correggio.
