The first of our two holidays to this region focuses on three historic cities in the western part of Emilia-Romagna and Le Marche. Ravenna was the last capital of the Western Roman Empire, and remains a treasury of some of the world’s most dazzling mosaics and Byzantine architecture – memories of the final glowing embers of imperial glory. In Urbino in Le Marche we discover an idealised city state created by the Duke of Urbino and in Ferrara we will learn more about the powerful d’Este family whose court was based here.
Ravenna, Urbino & Ferrara and Parma, Cremona & Mantua run consecutively so why not book both for a 10 night tour of northern Italy’s art cities? The price to join both tours is £3,049 per person (single supplement £578).
