The centre of Ravenna hides many treasures. One of them is the Basilica of San Francesco. In the 14th century, it was one of the favourite places of the Supreme Poet Dante Alighieri.

Enter inside the basilica. Admission is free. There is a surprise for you under the high altar .

You can see the amazing submerged crypt with just a €1-fee. It is a work of art suspended in time, decorated with an ancient mosaic floor completely underwater, and the water level rises and lowers according to rain.

A little advice! Sharp your eyes: you will see a number of goldfish happily swims.

Beating the heart of Bologna, Piazza Maggiore is a gigantic square surrounded by some of the buildings that made the history of this old medieval town.

There is Basilica of San Petronio with its unfinished façade, Palazzo Dei Banchi, Palazzo Dei Notai, and Palazzo d’Accursio, the headquarters of the Municipality.

If you go to the last floor of Palazzo d’Accursio, you can enjoy a unique view of Piazza Maggiore.

You almost feel to be in a painting of Giorgio de Chirico, when walking along the streets of Tresigallo, a little city near Ferrara, refounded towards the end of the 1920s.

This place, where the autumn and winter fogs reign supreme, and where the thin air runs in the open air, reveals itself to be a striking example of perfectly preserved Italian rationalism architecture.

There is a square in the form of a ‘D’, the church, and the portico adorned with bass reliefs, imposing buildings with its symmetrical façades tower above the city’s crossroads, and much more…

It almost feels like touching the history with your own hands when you stop in the big area of Piazza sull’Acqua in Rimini.

You sit here and you lose yourself in the body of water of that ancient reservoir of the Marecchia river, framed by the suggestive outline of the Bridge of Tiberius, one of the most remarkable still extant Roman bridges.

The white marble meets the green colours of the park and the blue of the sky and of the water, and it’s an even more unique spectacle in the evening, when, between a stroll and a chat, you stop – even for just a moment – and enjoy all that beauty.

We are in the heart of Ferrara, specifically in the ghetto of what was one of the oldest Jewish communities in Italy. This area of the city was their neighborhood from 1627 until the Unification of the country.

We are located close to the the Walls of Ferrara, behind the monumental Certosa. In this part of the city characterized by much greenery and fruit trees stands the charming Jewish cemetery, still in use today.

Here the great writer Giorgio Bassani, in his literary reinvention, placed the grave of the Finzi-Contini family in his famous Novel (The Garden of the Finzi-Continis).

The air is soaked in history, tradition, and memories. Just ring the bell of the keeper’s house and go inside, with respect and spirituality.
