Emilia-Romagna recommendations?
 

We are going to be living in a small town for two weeks between Bologna and Florence during the last week of August and early September. Looking for recommendations for restaurants, churches, villages, museums, etc. (you name it....just whatever you think would be fun and interesting for us to check out).

Be sure to visit Ferrara!

Will you have a car?

Some ideas for a day trip (going east of Bologna on the A14 (or even better, the SS9, which follows the path of an old Roman road):

The mosaics of Ravenna

The world-class ceramics museum in Faenza

The striking murals painted on the walls of the old town of Dozza

The memorial to Formula One champion Aryton Senna along the F1 track in Imola

(Offbeat): Mussolini's crypt in an old cemetery just outside the small town of Predappio (a few miles south of Forlì) (a small, well-preserved eleventh-century church sits next to the cemetery)

Definitely Ravenna there are about a dozen or more churches and baptistries with mosaics covering the interiors.
Visit the tomb of Dante and town is birthplace of Giuiseppi Garibaldi.

We stayed at the Hotel Bisanzio which was quite nice and very close to a number of good restaurants and some nice shops/stores in addition to Basilica and the town centre.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Have any of you ever tried HomeFood? Read some reviews but would love a relatively recent report...
