Beautiful long walk on the promenade.

I love the Rotanda and the surrounding area. I knew when I first saw it 28 years ago when visiting my family, I was going to retire her. I live a few blocks over from here, and I just love it.❤️

A lovely beach, spent all day here, sunbeds are free, there are a lot of I flatable toys for the kids. Seaside was spotlessly clean and nice. Very busy but a very long stretch of beach with plenty of sunbeds and plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. We hired a epdsl quad bike and explored the town on bike which was very nice. Definitely worth a visit.

A very beautiful walk around it. It is one of the most known tourist attractions in the city of Senigallia.

Nice cocktail hour before dinner and after a dip in the sea.

Iconic place of Marche Riviera. It was a national place, where music 🎶 and events took places...today hosts exhibitions and museums

Nice view 360 degre view...you are right above the sea and can go around have a and possibility to go on the top roof

Coming out of the train station, you'll be treated to an impressive view of this imposing defensive structure. For an entrance fee of €5 per person, you can visit this elaborately restored complex and also enjoy a beautiful view of the old town. The staff is very friendly and speaks English. Both the fortress and the town are highly recommended. Beautiful, with their own unique charm. Thank you for the wonderful day.

Went there for the Harley Davidson event,great town,great time

Just your normal medieval castle, there’s a park near it. Go if you are in Senagalia.

Each year, the Summer Jamboree festival is held here. Rock and Roll music, vintage market, concerts and old timer cars.

The Roveresca Fort is near city centre in the commune of Senigallia, located in Ancona province of Marche region, in central Italy. The fort was constructed in 15th century by the duke Giovanni della Rovere, is symbolic monument of the city, constructed with bricks. The fort still stands tall in perfect condition, is a splendid example of military architecture of Renaissance period.

Beautiful atmosphere during the Summer Jamboree.

Summer jamboree

Even though it was quite busy, the visit was well organised. What we did not like is when we bought the tickets, it was advertised that you could follow an audio tour using the app instead of the guided tour. We liked this option as we were with young children a d their attention span for a guided tour is limited, especially in a language they don't speak. When we got up to the entrance of the caves; they said this was not possible and we had to wait an hour (!) for the English guided tour. The guide took a tremendous amount of time to explain each crack and sediment difference so we decided to walk on and tagged along to two Italian guided groups before we were 'caught' and told to stay with the guide. Our round took 1,5 hours; I did not dare to ask how long the normal tour would have taken. The cave itself is nice, well lit and the path is fenced and very accessible even for young children. There is only one route to follow so it's not possible to get lost.

Amazing experience! Must visit

Very beautiful and amazing place

The caves themselves are amazing! The company running them are running a slick operation and probably making a decent profit and in some cases have put profit before customers and this is why I've only given 3 stars... The buses that take you to the caves from the car park are mainly standing space with very few seats, they packed them full and it's a hot and windy road. The most annoying part however is that photos are forbidden, even with no flash. The only reason for this is so they can sell tickets to the photo tour where you're allowed to take photos. There's no pricing for the photo tour online however so I can only assume it's extortionate.

There are very few places across Europe that will offer you this experience without having to crawl yourself through dark and humid places. Incredibly beautiful experience.

Most outstanding place that I've ever been. Our Tour Guide was exceptionally knowledgeable

VERY enjoyable! Amazing beauty everywhere!😀👍

Visited the museum with my wife and our dog during our stay at the Villa Gioia in Fabriano. We had to follow a group of school kids of about 13-14 years old. The tour was guided by a young man who was excellent in his presentation. The language was Italian but I think it's possible to obtain a translator for other languages. I was amazed by what I saw and heard, the explanations were clear and also entertaining at the same time. We were able to see the process of ancient paper production and also modern paper production. There was also a very interesting part on the introduction of the watermark, used on many types of quality paper and in particular paper currency. This museum is great for kids and adults and is also visitabile by less able thanks to the staff who provided a ramp for my wife to enter the museum and then transported her to the first floor in a lift. There is also a very nice shop to buy gifts.

Amazing morning at the museum. We didn't book ahead and we probably should have. School groups were touring on the same day so when the guide finished with them, he offered to take us around. His English was limited but we managed and he was so kind to take us around. He showed my 6-year-old how to make paper and let him try it out. Highly recommended activity for families. I suggest to plan better than we did and go when there is an English tour so it's even better. There's a great playground and park across the street where you can do a picnic after.

A must-see in Fabriano, being the first town in Europe to produce paper, it has a great history. The museum itself is easy to reach, set in abeautiful ancient and well kept building, with any kind of facility for disable and has a video in English to explain what you are going to see before you start.

Very interesting place, good for families. English excursions not every day. Still worthy to visit. We have got a pleasant workshop for kids and produced a souvenir with own hands.

I went here for a class field trip! It was really cool to see because they take you through their history, you can also actually make paper if you take a tour. It is old fashioned but they show you how they keep up their modern touch. The town surrounding the factory is also very nice. It is totally worth seeing and making a stop at their factory with their excellent guides!

This was a very educational and creative experience, guides are amazing is a small museum but is a ton of information that you receive in a very natural way

I loved every bit about this museum. Lots of amazing history, the staff were helpful and friendly, and I learned so much about the history of writing medium as we know it. Thank you very much!!

Typical of the area, a fortified town with a castle on top of a hill. Many like this in the area, built as a defensive base hard to attack. This one is well preserved and the castle itself is open some days. The views from the castle are spectacular, and you then understand why it was built here. The small town is well kept with the typical small narrow streets. We enjoyed the visit

Very cosy little museum. Not so much to see, but a very nice atmosphere.

Beautiful rocca. Fun for the kids.

Mid-evil defence tower dating back to 1492. 5 floors to visit. Great view from the tower. Old weaponry displayed inside. Short visit. Free parking 500m away

Great old castle with puppets from the 60' showing the life back in the medieval times (from the prison to a banquet). My 3 yrs old daughter love it

Must see if you like the most beautiful Italian's villages

Medieval town on the hills near Pesaro and Urbino province the castle is the main attraction with its historic reconstruction of the war machines

Wow. What a stunning place. Cannot recommend it enough. Gorgeous fortress. Beautiful churches throughout. Picturesque with incredible views. And a delicious little gelato place. Wow. We didn’t go inside the fortress - we just wandered around and took in the beauty. Highly recommend the trip.

Long time wanted to visit Urbino and finally managed today. Despite heavy rainfall I felt in love with this unique and immensely charming place. Palazzo Ducale and National Museum of Marche are stunning. I wrote some comments and complains of bareness in most of rooms. But masterpieces on display are more than enough to compensate. Highly recommended.

The Castle of the Dukes of Urbino is enveloped in an atmosphere of mysticism and grandeur, as if it had emerged from the pages of a centuries-old legend. Its grandiose walls welcome guests with exquisite beauty, as if inviting them to explore the secrets of the past. Once inside, you are immersed in majestic halls adorned with exquisite works of art, each whispering its unique story. The majestic halls and incomparable gardens create a unique atmosphere, as if immersing you in a fairy tale world. A visit to the Castle of the Dukes of Urbino is not just an excursion, it is an encounter with grandeur and beauty that will leave unforgettable impressions for a lifetime.

Interesting spaces, visited on the first Sunday of the month when entrance is free

Amazing experience to visit this gigantic palace. The art works are breathtaking as are the architectural features. Don't miss the absolutely unique inlaid doors, such artistry.

Drove from Ravenna through hills and beautiful road. Structure located over the hills with having a good overview on the area around. Paid parking is provided in the front and back, which back is bigger and more organized. Facility presenting an art belonged to Renaissance. It is big museum with many paintings, curved stones, carpets, statues and dishes in different stories. Not only a palace, but also a protected city on the hills with narrow alleys with so many steps. At least consider 2 to 4 hours to see the palace and the city. If you rely on English communication, Good luck!

Majestic structure, impressive from outside. It's worth a visit, there is an interesting collection of paintings and ceramics inside. More impressive from outside than inside but definitively worth 2 hours visit, while strolling around the beautiful Urbino.

It does not matter if you don't have a doctorate in Arts, you will appreciate this place, the name and the other worldly ability of this painter and his father. Please visit and get a real feel for the artist.

Leaves a lot to be desired. If you expect to see any works by Raphael, you will be disappointed. There are many other works displayed but not much is offered in the way of explanation and half of them are unlabelled anyway. There are several empty shelves so there is possibly more to see in the tourist season. I would recommend a visit if you are an admirer of the artist and know what to look for. The museum bookshop is well-stocked but virtually only has Italian literature. The entrance fee is 4€.

Not much original work left, mostly copies, the house itself is nice.

We didn't enter the house, but we noticed something strange. During the day, there is a 'plate' to indicate that this is the birth house of the famous painter. In the evening, the 'plate' is gone. Maybe some fans see it as a collector's item? If you believe this review is useful, then please 'like' it.

This is a private museum, so it's won't contain too many real work, most work is copy. entrance fee for 3.5 euro, well, personaly I think it's a little bit high consider the content. But in a way, I think it's worth this value since you can experience the track of young artist, and you won't miss the fresco made by Raffaello when he was 14

You feel the medieval atmosphere in this house. You can wander from one room to another and imagine how families lived here, cooked food, met friends. I highly recommend this place if you want to get this feeling.

Interesting place, worth seeing if you are nearby. Admission is € 3,50. Several works of art by several famous artists including Raffaello

Overall it was a good experience. However, we were (due to numerous reviews) expecting a bit more animals/things to see. E.g. we visited the yellow path in 5 min, definitely something that could be merged into another path or perhaps extended. Parking cost us 5 euros and I am afraid we even landed in the wrong one (on the hotel side). Not sure if the other parking (larger) had the same price. Advice to buy tickets in advance cause they are cheaper and you avoid waiting time jn the cashiers

Good program if it's raining. The aquarium wasn't bad at all, it just wasn't that good. The sooner you buy tickets online, the cheaper. Definitely buy tickets online, because then you don't have to wait 30+ minutes in the queue. The shark are the main attraction and you'll understand why, they're massive and scary 😂 ideal trip for families as there are also dinosaurs, otters etc.

We had a wonderful day but it was very very hot and it was difficult to find shady spots to picnic if you weren’t actually eating at the restaurant or bar as all of the picnic benches in the shade got snatched up immediately! More shaded areas would really make a difference for this otherwise great attraction, especially in the dinosaur world! I would go again, but not in summer!

The prices are very reasonable, and all the animals are adorable. The penguins were so friendly, and the staff was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend!

Really nice aquarium with lots to see for old and young. There also lots of other attractions like dinosaurs, insects and so on, but the aquarium was most impressive to us.

There are a lot of different kinds of fishes, but despite the huge area, only half of the exhibition was interesting. Nevertheless, kids were happy, especially in the dinosaur area.

Very suitable for children to visit. I took my little one to visit on August 22nd. It was a very pleasant experience. I especially liked the blue pavilion. I bought the tickets on the official website, which was very convenient.

Fun park, we enjoyed the predators and dolphin show! Lots of activities for the little ones - playgrounds, splash pads etc., as well as looking at farm animals. Very reasonsably priced meals in the park.

The Delfin show is really one of a kind! Enjoyed every minute of it. Great staff and very caring. The other part of the facility is really nice too, we had a good walk. The most greatest thing is the rock look like audio in the bush. 😄

This park is nice, has really nice shows but there were more people who couldn't find the entrance to the park. You have to go thru Aquafan. Dolphins are the best and the show is spectacular.

The dolphins show is great but short. There are just two shows a day which is also kind of sad Almost all content is in Italian so inconvenient for foreigners Bunch of other activities, a lot of room for improvements but it's great to visit definitely!

This is a great place for family with kids. There is a big aquapark next to it but Oltremare fun park is worth of 1/2 day visit. Come early like 9:30 and you will get parking under the trees and you will be on time for all commented attractions during day. Flying birds show, and a especially do dolphins 🐬 it was fabulous. 25mins show limes which are kind of going from one to the next one. It is definitely possible to spend here whole day.

Really fun place to visit on a cloudy day. If you take your time it takes about 5 hours to see it all (including 2 shows). Be sure to get there on time. When we visited, the dolphin-show was only one time that day, and you don't want to miss that

The show with the dolphins and birds is amazing. Absolutely interesting for kids and adults, if you want to see everything and eat there, you are gonna need to spend 5-6 Hours there. The Personal is friendly, there are shops, restaurants, lot of kids playgrounds, worth every penny.

Blown away, way better then some of the much more known theme parks in this area! Loved our visit, were sad we didn’t come here earlier to be able to take advantage of the second day free entry as well. We visited with a 1 year old and there were so many rides he could go on, really really amazing. Kind of like how theme parks used to be, great vibes!

Somewhat basic themepark for smaller kids but has quite a few rides for various age groups and also has some shows, especially the circus performance is surprisingly good! Limited separate payment offerings in the park almost everything is included in the admission. Be sure to get the wristband for a second day visit if you enjoyed. There is a souvenir shop near the exit and sometimes a booth directly at the exit handling it.

This place is very cool. I highly recommend going with children in warmer weather. There are many places to eat but the choice is small. Very cool atmosphere, only a few attractions need to be renovated.

If you haven't seen it yet, you've missed something. Fabilandia is an entertainment park that's a little different from the others. And I mean that in the best possible way. The park was built in 1965 and extends around a large lake. The attractions have been expanded over the years, but the charm of a mature structure is evident everywhere. Plenty of greenery and tall trees provide shade, and there's a diverse mix of smaller attractions, bouncy castles, rides, roller coasters, and themed structures. The rides aren't wild, but their charm comes from the ambiance. With a lot of imagination and attention to detail, magical places have been created that children can immerse themselves in; whether it's traveling through the earth on a worm and seeing gnomes, riding a wagon through Merlin's castle in a ghost train-like manner, or riding a minecart through a gold mine. The park captivates with its charming atmosphere.  Despite its age, the buildings and rides are in very good condition. The park is a magical place that stands out very positively from other parks where commercialization is paramount. At Fiabilandia, almost everything is included in the admission price; be it a boat ride on a paddle steamer, a train ride, the many roller coasters, or the go-kart track. The target audience is clearly families with younger children up to approximately ten years old. Our seven-year-old son thoroughly enjoyed the park. The centerpiece seems to be a circus that delivers a wonderful, comic, acrobatic, and magical show at a very high level. If you visit the park, don't miss the circus. There are two other shows, one in the Western town and a musical theater. A day ticket for a family with one child costs €58 and is also valid the next day. So, for this price, you can visit the park for two days.  However, you will need to get a wristband at the exit for re-entry the next day. We were there during the Whitsun holidays in June and hardly ever had to wait in line for longer than three minutes. Often, we were able to get straight onto the next train. For us, it was the most beautiful family-friendly entertainment park we have ever visited, and we will definitely be back. For us adults, it was a dream trip back to our own childhood and a relaxing time in a beautiful atmosphere. Between the individual attractions, we were able to sit in the shade, watch the waterfowl or fish, or relax on one of the loungers in Maui Bay. Two suggestions: a gold washing area where kids can find "gold" and by washing out sand with pans would be a great interactive experience. Maybe the train could run more constantly on a regular basis around the park?

Theme park in Rimini Italy. The target audience are families with kids but you can have a great time even as an adult couple. You need 3-4 hours for the whole park. After 17:30 the ticket price is lower. There is a big parking but you pay extra. Not many food and drink options. I had visited Fiabilandia as a kid 25 years ago and many things have changed since then. If you are staying in Rimini,Fiabilandia worths your visit.

I have to say it is better than it looks! Perfect for a family day out. We had to come back with my nephew and niece for the second day to finish rides we didn't do in the first day and there was no extra charge. Plenty of rides for smaller kids, very good circus performance and theatre show. Also everyone serving food was extremely nice and helpful!

If you have children less than 12/13 years old this is the place where they can have a real fun! In April not at all overcrowded and you can have all the rides that you want! Yes the attractions are a bit dated but my children didn’t mention it! For sure is less expensive of other Parks and the food served in the restaurant there was not bad!

Great little theme park. More aimed at children under 10 but plenty of older couples and families visit too. Nice to see all the major landmarks and walk around them.

Tbh I wasn't expecting much and it was a spur of the moment thing to fill an afternoon. Once through the doors it's actually a pretty cool place. There is so much detail everywhere. I found so many locations that I would love to visit on our next italian trip and it's laid out in a representation of the country. There was so much more to see that I realised at first. Some places were not open but that was the only blotch on an enjoyable visit.

The most amazing tematic park we've ever been. Attractions, miniature Italy and Europe, the remake of Piazza Italia and Venice by boat is simply amazing. We spent a fantastic day there, highly recommended.

Very nicely done with many side activities for children, the map is done with attention to detail, trains and boats coming and going, the venice boat trip is especially nice. Needs about 3-4 hours to absorb it all, but even more time can be spent here with options to eat, coffe and sweets.

A must-do experience. There’s something for everyone here, much more than we expected before we went. Quite a magical place, considering how much effort must go into each piece of art to display one area of Italy. You learn a lot on your way around as well, with the quiz. There’s moving parts around every corner, especially the train system is constantly in motion, very impressive. The Venice experience was nicer than actual Venice, as we didn’t have to fight any crowds! Overall exceptional in terms of value for money and experience. Highly recommend it.

We had amazing time with the kids. We visited for evening visit (18-23h, special dates this summer), when every ticket was only 10euro and all the rides were free. Definitely worth a visit!

A very nice place to spend a few hours. In addition you have some attractions like log rides, monorail train rides, mini parrot zoo, ride in gondola through Venice in miniature and carousels for small children in Pinokio themed park . We visited in the morning and there was no long wait anywhere. Later it's getting busier. There are refreshments available on the site and souvenir shops. Buss no 8 goes straight from Rimini to Italy in miniature. Highly recommend.

A decade ago, I visited the Fortress of San Leo, and I was really impressed by how well-maintained the construction still was. One of the most striking parts of the visit was the torture room, where people accused of heresy, like Cagliostro, were imprisoned by Pope Pius IV. The tools used for torture were on display, which gave a chilling but fascinating glimpse into the past. The region itself is full of culture and offers stunning landscapes, plus the food in Emilia Romagna is incredible—definitely a highlight of the trip!

Tricky to rate this. We went mid may. Clouds had rolled in so not much of a view. Went to the tourist info area which seemed to be closed even though someone was inside. We decided to walk up to the castle. The pedestrian walkway was very crumbly and slippy. Not good. Again the ticket shop was lit up and sort of open but no one inside. There was an automatic ticket machine. We pressed the English translation button. All it did was change the top word to "Entance" but the rest stayed in English! Worked out as a 10 euro entry. But no one to tell what there was and no views due to low cloud decided not to go in. Walked back down the road rather than go down the dodgy steps. The town itself was nice with an interesting church. We were unlucky with weather but the service could have been better.

Impressive structure and great views. However inside is less impressive, mostly empty rooms (which is understandable given it’s previous role as a prison). Majority of information in Italian only. If you are a fan of torture tools, you will see plenty inside.

We followed the steep, zig zag path up the hillside through the forest to arrive in front of the castle. The castle looks like a state of the art 16th century creation and the location must have made it almost impregnable to assault, with sheer cliffs on almost every side and just one narrow road leading up to it. Entry was 10€ and we spent a couple of hours there as there was so much to see. The views were the most obvious and spectacular thing - all the way to the Adriatic Sea and possibly San Marino, with every hilltop on the Appenines seems to have a castle on it. There is a well marked route through the castle with the fortified tunnels and fireports followed by the original prison cells and exhibits of torture and the inquisition. The inner structure had barracks, armouries, cells for Papal prisoners and a museum about the life of the enigmatic Cagliostro. He was the most famous prisoner of the fortress, a confidence trickster who travelled throughout Europe and mixed with the rich and famous, involved in alchemy, freemasonry and healing and regarded as a heretic by the church. His death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in the fortress. He had a small cell with no door, he was lowered in from the room above, where his guard stayed and watched him through a grille and spyhole. I'm sure the view lost its appeal after a while and he died after 4 years in his cell. The armouries had a mixture of medieval, WW1 and WW2 weapons, quite a comprehensive collection! We sat and had an ice cream from the museum shop before doing a final circuit of the walls and then carefully making our way down the path.

Very nice and quiet place. You can buy the tickets directly from the touch machine at the entrance. We didn't manage to go inside as we had the dog and nobody was in the office area to ask if it was possible to enter with the dog. It was less busy then we expected but the view is nice from outside as well.

Lovely place for a day trip - especially if you like walking, castles, history, and great views! You could spend many hours inside the castle looking at all the artifacts and watching the films they have about the castle. If you spend time walking around everything then it's well worth the €9 entry fee.

Wonderful visit on a very foggy day but still worth it. Easy walk up hill that is well sign posted. Good signage inside. Probably great views but not the day I visited as you can see in the photos.

wonderful, beautiful place to relax in the evening. delicious food in local restaurants along the canal, fresh seafood, colorful!!!

Cesenatico Is a wonderful Town to visit in Italy. The town is centered around the Canale Leonardesco.

Beautiful spot to visit and reachable by bike. Small restaurants by the channel are very cozy, a bit overpriced due to the location. On the left of the channel there is a nice museum of maritime history and a nice art gallery that makes occasional shows. On the right of the channel is the access to the old village where there is a merry go round and a market in the evenings. Stunning the old boats in the channel.

A cute & cozy place. Kids were fascinated to see all that boats. We recommend La Pizzeria Materiaprima (Pizza al taglio) situate on The boardwalk. The best pizza we ate so far.😋🤤

Great little town with a very picturesque centre running along the river filled with boats. Lovely atmosphere. Good restaurants and "gelateria's"

Came here on a boat trip from Bellaria and what a stunning place it was. All the boats up the river, and the marina restaurants were sending out sounds and smells that stay with you for a long time. There was a little street event going on with wooden table games and everybody was having a great time. I will not forget this place in a hurry!!

"Porto canale Leonardesco" because is a man-made canal designed by the one and only Leonardo da Vinci. It's the heart of Cesenatico, especially in summertime, and it hosts various events during the year (Nativity scenes during Xmas time for example). Around the canal you may find pubs, shops, and restaurants. Very suggested.

Wonderful mosaics, carved sarcophagus, lovely setting in Classe, just outside Ravenna. Definitely worth a visit along with the new museum a few blocks away. I have not been able to find out the name of the modern sculptor of happy cows placed on the lawn just outside the church entrance, though.

Worth a visit, situated a bit outside of town but with an easy bus connection. One of the Unesco monuments.

Apse Mosaic, Basilica di Sant’Apollinare in Classe. A sixth-century Byzantine vision of paradise unfolds in the golden apse, where a great jewelled cross glitters against a starry sky. Below, Saint Apollinaris raises his hands in prayer amidst a meadow of sheep and trees, a pastoral vision symbolising Christ’s transfiguration. Few mosaics in Europe equal its serenity and radiance – a profoundly captivating survival of Ravenna’s imperial Christian world.

Free parking across the road. Very good price with the combined ticket that includes the National Museum of Ravenna and the Mausoleum Teodorico. Quite simple design but stunning mosaics.

We chose to make this our first site, so took the train down from Ravenna station and then the bus back up to Ravenna. It's a bit out of the way but so worth the logistical trouble and time out of the busy tourist schedule (to whoever is still undecided)! It is a hidden treasure and feels different from the other sites, a very authentic rural church with deep history rather than a tourist attraction. We went on a Saturday morning and were lucky because a wedding closed down the site half an hour later.

This church located outside of the city of ravenna about 20 minutes by public transportation or 10 minutes by car is a wonderful example of Byzantine art and architecture melded with romanesque art and architecture as well as later additions from the baroque and neoclassical periods.

Venezia. Venice, the beautiful Islands. When we reached the Venezia railway station, you can see in front of the view is Basilica di Sant'Apollinare,,.beautiful location. Hundreds of Islands built in Venice..public water transport is there. The backwaters are beautiful Gondola riding is amazing. Ride and dine is the most fascinating thing in Venice. People came all over the world. Hundreds of small canals there. Somany Bridges there its a wonderful experience. Early morning and evening to see the sun rise and sunset is colourful. ❤️ Go and enjoy the Drive an Dine❤️

It is definitely not accessible for toddlers. Older children enjoyed the walk uphill (and were quite loud although the park rules specified keeping voice low). Every child under 6 that we passed was struggling and many crying. We didn't expect it to be such a difficult walk and chose to turn around because it didn't seem safe for our toddler. We'll try again in a few years.

Lovely path for walking and see the settings. It's wonderful for kids specially, as they love visiting the area.

Nicely made adventure path. Made for everyone that likes a fairy tale atmosphere. The one note I have make is that some parts are overrun with water coming down the slope. This probably will be dry in high summer I think.

A nice place for the small people

A nice and simple way to spend and hour with little babies. You walk along this 400 m very simple trail with some 10 gnome related elements, e.g. the house of the gnmes, the book of the gnomes, descriptions of the life of the gnomes

nice people, but they could improve the gnomes spots on the path

A very nice activity for children who love the outdoors

Quite big was a good amount of things to see. It has a lot of art and mosaics. There was also the famous mosaic of Jesus (it could be god, not sure) that you've probably seen. It's really big and beautiful. They also had a bathroom and the place isn't the most wheelchair nor stroller friendly. They also have a small gift shop at the exist which I bought from and the stuff was a little bit overpriced but overall ok (though the socks lack elasticity). I'd definitely recommend it if you're visiting Ravenna.

Absolutely stunning mosaics are depicted here. The Basilica is so unassuming on the outside, and then you walk in and go WOW! Such craftsmanship.

First built by Theodoric as an Arian church, later rededicated to Saint Martin and renamed when the relics of Sant’Apollinare were brought here. The basilica’s nave is flanked by twin rows of columns with pulvini above, leading to a raised choir framed by porphyry pillars. Its mosaics unfold in three registers: decorative panels at the top, Gospel scenes between the windows, and below, processions of saints. On one wall, martyrs led by Saint Martin move toward Christ; on the other, twenty-two female saints approach the Virgin with Child, guided by the Magi. Byzantine rhythm in full stride, yet anchored in Ravenna’s history.

Lovely church, free to enter. Not open to tourists when church service is on. There is a cool mosaic tile aquatic area under the main stage. It's cost 1 euro to turn the lights on for 2.5 minutes. There are some small fish and it's a nice little view. It's worth the 1 euro. I added one small photo from the lift side view hole. It's easy to miss. It's left of the front stage. You can view it when others are using the main view.

Astoundingly beautiful church the mosaics are mind blowing. There is a small entry fee but totally worth it to experience the fantastic church. Definitely give this church a visit.

Stunning mosaics. I went closer to sunset and as the light moved it made different areas come to life and shimmer in gold. Incredible place.

Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo is a glittering ribbon of history! The long nave lined with mosaics—processions of martyrs and virgins, palm trees, and scenes from the life of Christ—absolutely shimmers as you walk. I loved spotting the quirky details (look closely for the “ghost” hands on the palace columns—remnants from figures later removed!). The light, the marble columns, and that endless golden glow make it both majestic and peaceful. A dazzling must-see in Ravenna

A very nice and historical place not far from Dante’s tomb.

(Translated by Google) Next to the tomb of the great poet Dante Alighieri is the place where the remains were positioned to prevent the bombings of World War II from in any way damaging, destroying or losing them. Even today you can see the mound of earth under which they were placed (Original) A fianco della Tomba del sommo poeta Dante Alighieri c’è il luogo in cui le spoglie sono state posizionate per evitare che i bombardamenti della II guerra potessero in qualche modo danneggiarle o distruggerle o mandarle perse . Ancora oggi qui si può vedere il tumulo di terra sotto la quale furono poste

(Translated by Google) Near Dante's tomb you can admire this splendid garden. Inside the Quadrarco, to the right of the entrance, the “Pignatta” and “Traversari” sarcophagi are preserved, both referring to a period between the 5th and 6th centuries but later reused for the burials of members of noble families from Ravenna, from which ones are named. Three other sarcophagi, with simpler decoration, are present in the small garden next door, where there is a green hill that recalls the place where Dante's remains were preserved during the Second World War. (Original) Vicino alla tomba di Dante si può ammirare questo splendido giardino. All’interno del Quadrarco sono conservati, a destra dell’entrata, i sarcofagi “Pignatta” e “Traversari”, entrambi riferibili ad un periodo tra il V e il VI secolo ma riutilizzati successivamente per le sepolture di esponenti di  famiglie nobili ravennati, dalle quali prendono nome. Altri tre sarcofagi, dalla decorazione più semplice, sono presenti nel piccolo giardino accanto, dove sorge un dosso verdeggiante che ricorda il luogo in cui furono conservate le spoglie dantesche durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale.

(Translated by Google) A place not to be missed for anyone who is a Dante enthusiast. Located in nearby Piazza San Francesco, it houses Dante's Tomb. (Original) Luogo da non perdere per chi è un appassionato di Dante. Situato nella vicina Piazza San Francesco ospita la Tomba di Dante.

(Translated by Google) Quadrarch of Braccioforte. A small pile of earth covered with ivy, right in the centre, tells us the event thanks to a plaque with the writing "Under this mound Dante's bones had safe rest from 23 March 1944 to 19 December (Original) Quadrarco di Braccioforte. Un piccolo mucchio di terra ricoperto di edera, proprio al centro, ci riporta l’avvenimento grazie a una lapide con scritto “Sotto questo tumulo le ossa di Dante ebbero sicuro riposo dal 23 marzo 1944 al 19 dicembre

(Translated by Google) The Quadrarco of Braccioforte is a corner of tranquility in the area dedicated to Dante Alighieri. In the past there was a small oratory here, mentioned in the 9th century and now disappeared. The name, according to legend, refers to two faithful who, in this place, in order to be heard by the Lord, took an oath invoking the "strong arm" of Christ. Nearby, a small mound of earth in a courtyard contains the remains of Dante Alighieri, during the Second World War, from 23 March 1944 to 1945, to escape the possible destruction caused by bombing. Considered of great importance, the tomb was never subjected to bombing and even a plan was designed to urgently transfer it to Valtellina if there was a need. Inside the quadrarch there are marble sarcophagi, two of which date back to the 5th-6th century AD, reused in the Middle Ages by noble families. Here, every evening, you can hear 13 tolling of a bell which, at dusk, commemorates September 13th, the day of Dante's death. (Original) Il Quadrarco di Braccioforte è un angolo di tranquillità nell'area dedicata a Dante Alighieri. Qui in passato vi sorgeva un piccolo oratorio, menzionato nel IX secolo e oggi scomparso. Il nome, secondo la leggenda, rimanda a due fedeli che, in questo luogo, pur di essere ascoltati dal Signore, prestarono giuramento invocando il "braccio forte" di Cristo. Qui vicino un piccolo cumulo di terra in un cortile racchiude i resti di Dante Alighieri, durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, dal 23 marzo 1944 al 1945, per scampare all'eventuale distruzione causata dai bombardamenti. Considerata di grandissima importanza, la tomba non fu mai oggetto di bombardamenti e addirittura fu progettato un piano per trasferirla d'urgenza in Valtellina qualora ce ne fosse stato bisogno. Dentro il quadrarco si trovano dei sarcofagi marmorei, due dei quali del V-VI secolo d.C., riutilizzati nel medioevo da famiglie nobili. Qui, ogni sera, si possono udire 13 rintocchi di una campana che, all'imbrunire, ricorda il 13 settembre, giorno della morte di Dante.

(Translated by Google) Garden next to Dante Alighieri's Tomb enclosed by a wrought iron gate in which there are numerous decorations. (Original) Giardino a fianco della Tomba di Dante Alighieri racchiuso da una cancellata lavorata in ferro battuto in cui sono presenti numerosi decori.

This museum is biggest in Italy and is one of the most captivating,interesting and with so much art diversity of pairings and sculptures. They also have Venus sclupture ,and many other beautiful sculptures such as Michelangelo. One of the best Art Museums for painting and sculptures in the world ,

This might be misleading as I haven't been inside the building. But I have been to the underground parking lot right underneath it — and there's a whole other art museum worth looking at. Found it by an accident, no regrets.

Lovely art museum, but be prepared that everything there is written in Italian language and nothing in English..

They have the most thoughtful and interesting curation of large shows. We saw the auto-portraits and it was outstanding.

The Pre-Raphaelite exhibit was so very, very good! As an older person I wish that I had been able to visit the exhibit twice - too much for one visit. Also the informational signs should be bigger - hard to see and many people at one time trying to read them created a bit of a crowd. BUT SO WORTH SEEING!

Wonderful museum with a very thoughtfully curated collection. Definitely worth visiting! Just have google translate on your phone to help with the descriptions.

I was amazed when I visited this place to view Arte della moda. Mind blowing

Fantastic medieval town with fortress and clock tower. Ancient street, friendly locals, traditional restaurants and the best wine, gateway to Parci Carne.

Beautiful. A must see. This ancient covered walkway takes you back 500 years. Well worth the visit

Special hallway, nice to walk through, sadly all signs are in Italian, but worth to see

A FEATURE OF BRISIGHELLA IS THE PORTICOED VIA DEGLI A ROUTE USED FOR THE DONKEYS THAT PULLED THE CARTS FROM THE SALT MINES.

A closed elevated medieval street Brisighella, really charming and atmospheric.

Beautiful place to visit

Very interesting place.

Great circuit, but is missing a museum and a caffè inside the circuit. With the story of this circuit is a must to have a museum.

5EUR to look at trackday event, walk around paddock, at any of the grand stands or the green areas... It was a fiver well spent. Moto trackday, but trucks were loaded with formula classics brought for a next event - some testing - got to see older Haas car too! haha

I spent the weekend at Mugello Circuit and had an amazing time. The track itself is legendary, fast, flowing, and absolutely thrilling to ride. Organization was top from start to finish, and the track marshals were outstanding: professional, alert, and always on point. Everything felt safe, well-coordinated, and smoothly managed. If you love motorsport, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be back.

Mugello is possibly the best track in the world! Excellent viewing, good sight lines, ease of access, friendly staff. General Admission is all around the track excluding stand areas - see the attached image. Hospitality in the Grandstand is first class - highly recommended. Spectator spectating is also available free of charge!!! Getting to and from the track during raceday is a frustration .... but 150,000 people keep doing it, so it can only be worthwhile!!

Amazing race track at an incredible location in the Tuscan hills. Easily accessible by car or train, top notch facilities, great viewing angles from the grandstands. Love Mugello!!

A fantastic racetrack in a beautiful setting. Very well maintained, clean facilities and everything you need. Will definitely be back for more action.

An absolutely stunning motorcycle track with fans to suit. I’m English though and through but I felt I was Italian for a day.

Lovely spot — surprisingly not too crowded during our visit. This open medieval square offers a refreshing change of pace in a city that can sometimes feel a bit tight and busy. A peaceful breath of fresh air, both literally and figuratively.

Visiting during Christmas as just like you own this place! No tourist. Only few people hanging around in the perfect weather. The church is really interesting inside with no fee to entrance.

Enchanting Piazza - criss crossed many times for few days got to see different shades of beauty every time. Peaceful, warm with lovely heritage around.

The Santo Stefano square in Bologna is a place of 7 churches and it has historical significance due to this. A serene place to visit and enjoy the architecture and spiritual environment of churches. Also, you can get food for affordable prices near this square. In Italian, the 7 churches are known as Sette Chiese in Piazza Santo Stefano.

Its cute and nice. Its a minute walk from centre but its so quiet. Very italian. Very beautiful. The piazza in front is good if u just want to chill. Very glowy also

Beautiful Piazza with loads of restaurants. Safe but can be noisy late into the night on Weekends.

Great place, Must see in Bologna. Seven churches - free admission, journey through ages. Square itself is a place to greet and fest graduations. Fun to observe.

Beautifully restored towers in central bologna - monumental of Bologna’s history. The towers served as status symbols, and the city once had 80 to 180 towers as people competed to outdo one another in status.

Impressive historical landmarks in the heart of Bologna. The taller tower, Asinelli, offers a breathtaking panoramic view if you're up for the 498-step climb. The smaller, Garisenda, leans dramatically and adds to the charm. A must-see for anyone visiting the city!

The Two Towers of Bologna (Le Due Torri) – A must-see landmark in Bologna! Standing tall in the heart of the city, the towers are not only impressive but also full of history. Walking around them gives you a true sense of medieval Bologna. Truly iconic and worth the visit!

97m tall tower build in year 1119. Still standing 👍 At this moment the inside is closed. The smaller tower is really lean strongly to the side.

Le Due Torri are impossible to miss and even harder to stop staring at. Rising at a dramatic tilt over the heart of Bologna, the Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda towers feel like something out of a medieval fantasy; tall, weathered, and slightly defiant against the modern city buzzing below. They're not just symbols of Bologna; they are Bologna, standing watch over centuries of change. Even from the ground, they carry a sense of mystery and gravity that makes you pause and look up; just like everyone else passing by.

We had seen the Two Towers on Rick Steve's show and wanted to take a look while in Bologna on our trek through Europe. The towers were easy to find. Google maps brought us right to them. The construction on the streets around the towers as well as the tower project made it difficult to get good pictures. We could see pretty well but so much chaos going on and it was very loud...we moved along promptly.

Absolutely beautiful tourist attraction, a lot of history. Unfortunately climbing up wasnt an option as it got closed when I went to visit a week ago.

A massive cathedral in the very centre of Bologna that’s definitely not to be missed. There is so much to see inside and try and take in that more than one visit may be required. It’s also a great place for a seat and rest especially when it’s so hot outside.

Cathedral in the heart of Bologna city center. If you're here do stop by! Make sure you are dressed appropriately, while its a free visit they do ask that you respect the dress code with covered knees and covered shoulders. It's rich in history and has various chapels worth visiting. The chapel holding the last judgement was closed for us but typically 5€ to visit. Again because it holds the last judgements painting. Would've loved to see it up close. But dont let that stop you from seeing the entire church and each chapel The chapels hold different ornaments and beautiful paintings, take you're time. Translate the plaques research the history its always worth it. Take time to enjoy the church and enjoy all the history inside. And dont forget to look down the tiles/floor holds secrets too!

The Basilica di San Petronio is absolutely breathtaking and well worth a visit if you’re in Bologna. We went over the weekend and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait to enter. Even though it was busy inside, the sheer size of the basilica meant we could explore at our own pace and really soak in the atmosphere. The history here is incredible — construction began in the late 14th century, and it was originally intended to be even larger than St. Peter’s in Rome. Today, it remains one of the largest brick churches in the world, with an interior that feels both grand and peaceful. One tip: they are strict about the dress code, so be sure to cover your shoulders and avoid shorts or skirts cut too high above the knees. A small effort for such an unforgettable experience!

Located in the heart of Piazza Maggiore, Bologna's Basilica of San Petronio is a testament to unfulfilled ambition and striking beauty. Its most distinctive feature is the unfinished façade—the lower half a masterpiece of intricate marble reliefs, while the upper half remains raw brick, a stark reminder of papal interference that halted its construction. Inside, the vast, echoing space is a stunning example of Italian Gothic architecture. The nave soars to an incredible height, flanked by 22 chapels, each a treasure trove of art. Don't miss the Bolognini Chapel, with its vivid frescoes of Heaven and Hell, a controversial masterpiece by Giovanni da Modena. The sheer scale and rich detail of the interior make it a captivating and deeply historical space, revealing Bologna's unique cultural and religious identity. CASSINI'S MERIDIAN Embedded into the floor is, a celestial wonder which unfolds beneath my feet. Not a grand dome or a soaring fresco, but a precise, 67-meter-long line of brass and marble—the Cassini Meridian. This isn't just a decoration; it's a monument to scientific genius, a grand solar observatory in stone. As I trace its path with my gaze, I imagine Giovanni Domenico Cassini and his team, hunched over their instruments in 1655, meticulously calculating the sun's altitude at noon. The sliver of sunlight piercing the basilica's vaulted ceiling, a golden messenger from the heavens, projects a perfect ellipse of light onto the meridian, its position a testament to the changing seasons and the Earth's tilted axis. This line, etched into the basilica's heart, is a testament to the harmony between faith and reason. It's a reminder that even within the walls of a sacred space, humanity's quest for knowledge of the cosmos can find its place, illuminating both the divine and the scientific in a single, brilliant beam.

A very interesting church in the central square of Bologna, ( and definitely had more character than the cathedral). Because of it's location, and the more of I heard about it from other tours and events going on in the area, I ended up visiting this church 3 times within 3 days. However, every time I visited, I learned something new, such as how the built sundials work, or something about one of the many chapels in the building. There were soldiers at the front, which was a little unusual for other churches, but it seemed to cause no issues when visiting.

So many churches and cathedrals in Italy it is a challenge to see them all and a bigger challenge to know which ones might hold something even more special than the last. The Basilia di San Petronio is worth stopping in and visiting. While there is so much to see some of the artwork in the side chapels are remarkable and masterpieces in their own right. Take a little time to research before your visit and you'll find some very interesting paintings. Many com for its fresque of the Last Judgment. The prophet Mohammed is painted naked, his head devoured by a devil, in hell. The Basilica's half-finished marble façade is decorated with works by famous sculptors such as Jacopo della Quercia, Aspertini and Alfonso Lombardi. The central door features sculptures by Jacopo della Quercia depicting prophets and stories from the Bible, as well as a Madonna with a Child, Saint Ambrose and Saint Petronius. These sculptures would later inspire none other than Michelangelo, who spent some time in Bologna as a young man. The façade also features sculptures by Properzia de’ Rossi, one of the rare female sculptors of the Renaissance.

The Basilica di San Petronio is truly impressive. Its unfinished façade gives it a unique charm, and once you step inside, the vast space and beautiful light are striking. The frescoes and artwork make you feel like you’re walking through living history. The atmosphere is calm and majestic, and every corner reflects the soul of old Bologna. A visit that’s absolutely worth it, especially if you enjoy historic sites with depth and character.

The piazza is truly a beautiful place to visit, showcasing stunning architecture. Throughout the square, one can feel the weight of history, which is quite impressive. The feeling of being surrounded by such a historic setting is an unforgettable experience. The piazza offers a unique and immersive journey into the past. Overall, it's a truly remarkable destination.

Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna, Italy — and one of the country’s most iconic public spaces. Located in the heart of the historic center, it has been Bologna’s political, social, and cultural hub since the 13th century. Basilica di San Petronio – A massive, unfinished Gothic church dedicated to Saint Petronius, Bologna’s patron saint. It’s one of the largest brick churches in the world. Palazzo d’Accursio (or Palazzo Comunale) – Once the seat of Bologna’s government, now home to the Morandi Museum and the city hall. Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo Re Enzo – Medieval buildings from the 13th century, when Bologna was an independent commune. Palazzo dei Banchi – A beautiful 16th-century portico closing off the eastern side of the square, connecting to the old market streets.

Such an amazing piazza with lots to see. The duomo, the statue, the tower and many on. Also if you are looking for the 7 secrets of bologna, one of them is here. The whispering walls. Its a funny and weird experience and you should definitely try it

A beautiful and vibrant city center with a perfect blend of history, culture, and modern charm. The magnificent Neptune sculpture stands proudly as a centerpiece, surrounded by elegant architecture and lively public spaces. The nearby library adds a touch of intellectual and cultural richness, making it a pleasant area to explore and relax. Everything is within easy walking distance — from charming cafés and local boutiques to upscale shopping destinations such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Bottega Veneta. Whether you’re here for sightseeing, shopping, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this area offers an enjoyable and well-balanced urban experience

Beautiful big piazza in the heart of Bologna. The Basilica is also in the square which is also worth visiting. It has the longest indoor meridian in the world, dating back to the 1600's.

Great central square and public space used to great effect, every evening i was there, a stage was set with speakers talking about future possibilities, and last night an italian classic covering themes like poverty, innocence, friendship from the viewpoint of a young boy. I believe there is a free movie every evening until end of August. Over 500 seats were taken which shows people have an appetite to use pubic spaces in creative ways, well done bologna!

The nightlife in this pizza was unbelievable! We were there at 12:00 am and the live music was still going on with a good crowd and didn't seem it's going to go down anytime soon! Beautiful, big piazza with good vibes and plenty steps to sit on and chill.

Wow, what a wonderfully unique and electic castle. Fabulous design and wonderful trompe l'oeil. Definitely a dream brought to life. You have to join a tour - you cannot just wandering through the castle at your own pace, because it's a bit of a maze. However, we were given plenty of opportunity to photograph the rooms and views (stunning!) Our tour was in Italian, but our fabulous guide Alexandra translated key points for us, and there are information boards/signs in every room, explaining key points. Highly recommended!

It’s an interesting tour, especially if Alessandra is your guide! She makes the whole visit a great experience. Keep in mind you need to book in advance, and it is open only during the weekends (at least for now).

Very beautiful, but it is 5 of 7 days in week closed.. and now there is reconstruction, so not that beautiful at all. :)

Our guide, Alessandra, was amazing. In our group we were the only ones (four of us) who didn't speak Italian and she took the time to explain things in English after speaking in Italian to the rest of the group. She had great energy and clearly loves her job. The castle is a visual treat, and quite lovely. Thanks Alessandra for making our day a memorable one!

Authentic castle from the period of 19th century. 🏰 Rocchetta Mattei is like something out of a fantasy novel—an eclectic, whimsical castle nestled in the Apennine Mountains of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It’s not just a feast for the eyes, but a place steeped in eccentric history and curious science. 🌟 Highlights of the Castle - Architectural Mash-Up: The castle blends styles from Medieval, Gothic, Moorish, and Art Nouveau traditions. Think turrets, mosaics, and labyrinthine staircases that make every corner feel like a new discovery. - Count Cesare Mattei: The mastermind behind the castle, Mattei was a self-taught physician and inventor of electrohomeopathy, a controversial medical practice. He laid the first stone in 1850 and lived there like a medieval noble, complete with a court jester. - Famous Visitors: The castle attracted royalty and intellectuals from across Europe, including Ludwig III of Bavaria and Alexander II of Russia. Even Dostoevsky mentioned Mattei in The Brothers Karamazov. 🛠️ Restoration & Rebirth - After WWII, the castle fell into disrepair. It was later revived thanks to local efforts and the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Bologna, reopening to the public in 2015. - Today, it’s managed by the Comune di Grizzana Morandi and hosts guided tours, concerts, weddings, and cultural events. 📍 Visiting Tips - Booking is mandatory due to the castle’s maze-like layout and guided tour format. - It’s about a 45-minute drive from Bologna, making it a perfect day trip. - Nearby gems include the village of La Scola, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta by Alvar Aalto, and the Giorgio Morandi Home Museum. If you ever get the chance to visit, it’s not just a castle—it’s a storybook come to life.

Beautiful architecture and a splendid collection of old musical instruments. All visits are guided, helping a lot in understanding the incredible and mysterious history of the place. Highly recommended.

Found it while browsing places to visit in the area. We arrived there without reservation, but the lady at the ticket shop squeezed us into a tour with only 15min waiting time - thanks for that! The castle itself is very picturesc, with sometimes unbelievable amounts of details to discover. We enjoyed the stay a lot!

Definitely a Must! The scenography of the cars, the presentation on the big screen, the location, the Supercars exposed…. Could have spend more time there but had to leave for the rest of the journey after a good 2-3 hours visit! We loved it!!! Will come back to admire art on wheels!

The Ferrari Enzo Museum continues to be one of the most rewarding stops for any automotive enthusiast — and an absolute must for anyone who loves Ferrari. On my latest visit, I was pleased to see how much they’ve improved the main display hall. The new layout makes it far easier to walk around the cars and appreciate them from every angle, which really elevates the experience. The tribute film dedicated to Enzo Ferrari remains a touching centerpiece of the visit. It’s beautifully put together and adds emotional depth to the museum, reminding you of the passion and vision behind the brand. The standout for me this time was the F40 LM — an icon in its own right and an unbelievable sight up close. It alone is worth the trip. Overall, the museum is a fantastic place for any car fan, and for Ferrari enthusiasts it’s nothing short of special.

This is for all lovers of cars, history, speed... I can honestly say that this museum is something you must visit when you come to Modena. The moment you step inside, you feel the strong connection between Ferrari’s legacy and the city of Modena itself. Each model tells a story, from the earliest creations to the most advanced machines that symbolize Italian excellence. The multimedia presentations, films, and historical documents give great context and make the experience both educational and emotional. What impressed me most was the attention to detail in every aspect. It is not just a museum it feels like a celebration of Ferrari’s spirit and innovation. I left inspired, with a deeper appreciation for what Ferrari represents to Italy and to the world.

Such an amazing display. The video presentations and abundance of information was fantastic. Photos documents and history in the 2nd part of the exhibit has hours of extra enjoyment for the Ferrari enthusiast who really wants to see the details. Just amazing. You can drive a virtual Ferrari or enjoy walking through the cars on show. Arrived by bus from Bologna, it was easy enough to find with google maps. We purchased tickets when we got there. We only did the one museum but a 2nd extra one is available when you purchase your ticket. Price was fair. Access to this museum was easy by bus but I’m not sure about the 2nd one so research ahead.

The visit to the Ferrari Museum left me underwhelmed. Given Ferrari’s storied legacy, I anticipated a richer exploration of the brand’s history and Enzo Ferrari’s life. Sadly, the museum lacks depth, with sparse details on the iconic founder and the company’s evolution. The car collection, while sleek, is a bit limited, featuring fewer models than expected. Interactive experiences are minimal, with just two small exhibition halls that feel underwhelming for such a legendary brand.

Beautiful display of Ferrari supercars, but that's all this museum has going for it. For instance, they have gutted and not restored Enzo's original workshop. Literally no trace of it remains. They have a small (possibly restored) version of his office, but that's it. Tons of history is missing. Gift shop is ridiculously overpriced. If you want to see Ferrari supercars (and are willing to spend 27 euros apiece to do so) then go. If not pass.

You can't touch anything and has zero opportunities to interact with the installation. There is a simulator but is 25€ on top. There is another car where you can actually go in but you have to pay for pictures. There are no places to sit and rest for a second. The whole concept (Modena and Maranello museum+ Shuttle Bus) is very expensive and price performance not comparable with other big museums like the Mercedes Benz.

Very interesting Roman cathedral in Modena. Stone and sculptures outside, bricks inside, darkness and simplicity of Roman pure architecture. Some remarkable sculptures and tombs inside.

One of the most impressive cathedrals I have seen in my life. The architecture is amazing the murals of stunning in the use of marble is unique giving a wet all liquid form to the stone.

Unique cathedral protected by UNESCO. To visit the first floor a 2 Euros contribution is recommended. There's a sarcophagus with the sacred bones of Saint Geminianus. Definitely a place worth of visiting.

This is well worth it visit, you can get half way up the tower and this gives you a very good view of the city around the tower, very interested information is available as you climb.

An incredible piece of architecture, inside and out. The inside was not what I expected it to be. Definately worth a trip up the tower (a seperate entrance) for some amazing views. The stairs are mostly enclosed so it’s not too bad if you aren’t keen on that sort of thing.

Beautiful building, but most charming was the little chapel inside

The Modena Cathedral, or Duomo di Modena, is an awe-inspiring masterpiece and a must-visit landmark in the heart of the city. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stands as a testament to Romanesque architecture and the rich history of Modena. Built on the burial site of Saint Geminianus, the city’s patron saint since 331 AD, the cathedral is not just an architectural wonder but also a deeply spiritual place. The crypt, where Saint Geminianus is interred, adds a layer of solemnity and historical significance, making the visit feel profound and meaningful.

Getting caught up on reviews/pics from out trip to Italy in May/June 2024. What an amazing castle! The owner/family still lives there, but has opened the castle for tours. The history of the castle goes back some 1500 years. It’s on a large hill overlooking the Trebbia River, in the province of Piacenza, Italy. Many of the rooms in the castle are “as is”… as they have been for centuries. So much history there, from prisoners to royal guests from all over Europe. It really is a very cool place to visit, good for families as well!

Would be a great trip but if you are not Italian, the tour guides are extremely inhospitable and rude. They do not try to hide their xenophobia. In certain rooms they refuse to speak anything but Italian, and they will not make eye contact with anyone who does not. We were dismissed quickly and the visit was not worth the money. I agree with other reviews, the staff make this a must-miss and unpleasant experience.

This could be a fantastic experience if only the (still living) descendants weren't so selfish and exclusive. For instance: you can't take photos inside the castle; wonder why? me too! Also, the rooms and most of the castle isn't true to its origin: it's rebuilt, not restored. Not recommended.

gorgeous ancient castle. had a lovely visit, a historian took us to see some of the rooms although the family still lives there. I particularly appreciated the 17th century games and toys and the armours hall.

The location is timeless and absolutely gorgeous! The food was really really good with a great service! Absolutely delighted by the fabulous lunch that we had!

Magnificent stronghold. Well maintained and with a simply great static display of uniforms and weapons. Competent guide illustrated all castle secrets

Nice place to visit. Unfortunately the castle was closed when we arrived here but we had a very good lunch in this area.

A highlight of Lodi!

The Tempio Civico della Beata Vergine Incoronata, also known as the Sanctuary of the Incoronata, is a Catholic church in Lodi, Lombardy, Italy, and a masterpiece of Lombard Renaissance art. Origins: The temple was built starting in 1488, following reported miracles in 1487, when a fresco of the Virgin Mary on a brothel’s facade in Via Incoronata (formerly Contrada Lomellini) allegedly wept during a fight. This prompted the citizens of Lodi to construct a civic temple dedicated to the Crowned Virgin. Civic Significance: The term "Civico" (municipal) reflects its ownership by the Lodi commune, not the diocese, as it was funded and promoted by citizens and local authorities, symbolizing civic pride and devotion. Construction: Designed by Giovanni Battagio, a pupil of Bramante, construction began on May 29, 1488. Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono took over in 1489, completing the dome by 1491, and Lorenzo Maggi finished the bell tower in 1503. The facade was completed in 1879 by Alfonsino Truzzi.

Best.

Built in 1488 by Dolcebuono who was a pupil of Bramante. Decorated by Amadeo. Well worth a visit.

Very beautiful place

(Translated by Google) A small sanctuary in Lodi located near the cathedral, construction began in 1488 and is one of the greatest masterpieces of the Lombard Renaissance. It has an octagonal plan and is richly decorated with frescoes and works of art. It belongs to the municipality because its creation stems from a citizen initiative. (Original) Piccolo santuario a Lodi situato vicino alla cattedrale, edificato a partire dal 1488, è uno dei maggiori capolavori del rinascimentale lombardo. È a pianta ottagonale ed è ricchissimo di decorazioni, affreschi e opere d'arte. È di appartenenza comunale perché la sua nascita deriva da un'iniziativa cittadina.

(Translated by Google) The church, built between 1488 and 1494 based on a design by Giovanni Battaggio, is one of Lombardy's most astonishing Renaissance jewels. It is called a civic temple because it was commissioned and financed by the Lodi community, in recognition of the strong popular devotion to the miraculous image housed there. The octagonal plan, a symbol of perfection and rebirth, houses a fully decorated interior, a true Baroque-Renaissance treasure trove overflowing with paintings, sculptures, frescoes, and stuccoes created by the greatest Lombard artists of the 16th and 17th centuries. The works are truly numerous: rather than listing them, the motto here applies: "not to describe, but to contemplate." (Original) La chiesa, edificata tra il 1488 e il 1494 su progetto di Giovanni Battaggio, è uno dei gioielli rinascimentali più sorprendenti della Lombardia. È detto tempio civico perché voluto e finanziato dalla comunità lodigiana, riconoscente per la forte devozione popolare legata all’immagine miracolosa che vi era custodita. La pianta ottagonale, simbolo di perfezione e rinascita, accoglie un interno interamente decorato, un vero scrigno barocco-rinascimentale traboccante di tele, sculture, affreschi e stucchi realizzati dai maggiori artisti lombardi tra Cinque e Seicento. Le opere sono davvero numerosissime: più che elencarle, qui vale il motto “non si descrive, si contempla”.
