Introducing West of Bologna
40km northwest of Bologna is Modena, a well-off city with a rich history. Reggio Emilia is a litte further along the Via Emilia and makes a good base for exploring the Apennines. Parma lives up to its name - gourmet delights including parmesan cheese and parma ham make it worth the visit, and Piacenza is worth a quick stop as you head further west towards the border with Lombardy.
