Palazzo Di Varignana Resort & SPA

Surrounded by hills, Bologna's city center is still much as it was during the Renaissance with handsome red-colored buildings, medieval palaces, porticoed streets with covered walkways and marbled floors, and the enchanting leaning towers of Asinelli and Garisenda. Bologna provides the best of several worlds. It has beautiful piazzas, churches, and museums; it's an important commercial center; a thriving university town filled with cafes, bars, and nightlife; and a gastronomic heaven, famous for its pasta, sausage, cheese, and wine. Bologna is also the capital of the province of the same name and of the Emilia-Romagna region. Situated in the Pedemontana Apennine zone, where the valley of the Po' opens out to the Emilia plain, Bologna is a crossroad between major directions of national traffic. The University of Bologna, the oldest of Europe, was founded in 1088 as a law school by a group of scholars trying to settle the disputes between the Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy. Today, it is an international center for academic conferences and publishing. The students give the city its reputation for radicalism. Sometimes Bologna is called "Red" Bologna, not for its ragu', but for the color of its politics. Bologna was the first city in Italy to elect a Communist town council. Today, Bologna is often seen as one of Europe's cultural capital; its prestigious University is worldwide famous. An ancient city with a widely respected artistic heritage (the Caracca and Reni Schools originated here), Bologna has promoted various cultural initiatives on an international scale. It is a city that is known for its strong identity, its inter-cultural exchange programs, its towers, its gateways, its magnificent palaces, and its joie de vivre.

The City of Ravenna has been the centre of the world for several centuries, first as capital of the Western Roman Empire, with Theodosius King of the Goths, and then as centre of the Byzantine Empire, which considerably changed the architectural shape of the city, enriching it of monuments and mosaics. Ravenna is considered to be one of the most interesting cities of Emilia Romagna, with an impressive complex of early Christian and Byzantine monuments. Piazza del Popolo is the focus of the historic city center. On it is Palazzo del Governo, now the prefecture, which encompasses two thirds of the square. It is faced by Palazzo del Municipio which has two Venetian granite columns. Ravenna also has one of the finest constructions of the early Christian period, the Basilica di San Vitale. Its interior is lined with marble and mosaic decorations, such as for example the wonderful gold and bright green Byzantine mosaics of the apse. Nearby stands another masterpiece, the Mausoleum of Galla Placida, with a very simple exterior in contrast with the richness and harmony of the inner mosaics in vivid peacock blue, moss green, gold and orange. Also, in the Monastic Complex of San Vitale the National Museum complements the cultural and artistic heritage of Ravenna with Roman ruins, 14th century frescoes and collections of fabrics and ivories. The Arian Baptistery is an integral part of the early Christian Ravenna with its octagonal shape and splendid mosaic in the dome. Coming back toward Piazza del Popolo, not too far away, is Dante’s Tomb, a little temple in neoclassical style which preserves the remains of the Italian poet par excellence, who died in Ravenna in 1321. Very important is also the Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, with the beautiful cylindrical bell tower on the right side and the interior decorated by mosaics of great brightness, some in classical style, other in Byzantine style. Not to miss also the Neonian Baptistery, considered one of the most ancient and best preserved monuments of Ravenna together with its wonderful mosaics, and the Mausoleum of Theoderic, out of the historical centre, the only monument of Ravenna without mosaics. They have been attested as World Heritage by the UNESCO.

Of Earth's 196 independent countries, San Marino is the fifth smallest and – arguably – the most curious. How it exists at all is something of an enigma. A sole survivor of Italy's once powerful city-state network, this landlocked micronation clung on long after the more powerful kingdoms of Genoa and Venice folded. And still it endures, secure in its status as the world's oldest surviving sovereign state and its oldest republic (since AD 301). San Marino also enjoys one of the planet's highest GDP per capita, but some say it retains a curious absence of heart and soul.
