Travel Tips
A small, quiet, and well-heeled city, Ravenna has brick palaces, cobblestone streets, magnificent monuments, and spectacular Byzantine mosaics. The high point in its civic history occurred in the 5th century, when Pope Honorious moved his court here from Rome. Gothic kings Odoacer and Theodoric ruled the city until it was conquered by the Byzantines in AD 540. Ravenna later fell under the sway of Venice, and then, inevitably, the Papal States.

Since Ancient times, the city of Parma has been considered Italy’s gastronomic capital. Nestled in the Po Valley in the heart of the province, it is the wellspring for a bewildering number of Italian delicacies: prosciutto di Parma, Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, and tortelli to name but a few. Parma is the city of good food, bicycles, boutiques, small houses painted in light colors, and of course, magnificent palazzos.
