So good morning from Italia!
We are back in Italy. This time we’re exploring the region of Emilia-Romagna and we’re going to be spending three days here eating, drinking, exploring. Yeah. So exciting. This is a food heavy tour and I can’t wait to just like devour as much Italian food as possible and we’re also going to be doing quite a bit of travel too. Yeah, so we’re starting things off in Bologna and we’re also going to be exploring a few destinations so tag along.
So this afternoon in Bologna we are climbing Torre Prendiparte. This tower was built in the late eleventh century, early twelfth and we’re supposed to get some amazing views of the city from the top.
You can actually stay inside the tower and it has some pretty cool accommodations
So we made it to the top. We had to climb twelve stories on rickety wooden stairs to get here but the views are spectacular even in the rain.
So this morning we are going to be cooking. We’re currently in Forlimpopoli. This is the hometown of Pellegrino Artusi and he basically created the first Italian cookbook in Italian. We’re going to be preparing some of the recipes in that cookbook.
So we watched the demonstration. Now it is time to create our own pasta. It is one hundred grams of flower to one egg.
So I’ve got my pasta now it is time to I guess make it into different shapes.
So this is Mio Laboro. My hard work with pasta to feed an army.
Lunchtime. We get to eat the pasta we made.
So we just finished a wonderful lunch but the day is not over yet. Next up we’re doing a vineyard and wine tour so we’re just going to take a little look around and see what we can find. Yeah, so this place is called La Palazza to drink wine.
So last night we spent the night at an agriturismo and that is kind of like a home stay but in a rural farm setting in a vineyard.
So this morning we are visiting Acetaia di Giorgio and we’re learning about the Balsamic Vinegar making tradition.
Alright, so Brendan and Audrey we are doing a taste test of Balsamic Vinegar.
So what did you think of that original traditional balsamic vinegar?
So for today’s lunch we are getting a little bit fancy. We’re currently at Antica Corte Pallavivina Relais. It is basically like this old fortress slash castle in Parma.
I’m walking through a tunnel of ham. You have prosciutto, salami and some different meats and cheeses.
So I’m trying Frizzante Rosso and it is a traditional type of wine and if you look down here you can see it is in a very traditional cup not a typical wine glass.
So this morning we’re at a dairy farm learning all about the Parmigiano-Reggiano. It has been cool just seeing how like the production and how it is stored.
Welcome to world of Parmigiano Reggiano. Look at all of this cheese
So we’re vising the Enzo Ferrari Museum and in terms of all of the things we’ve done on this trip this is going to be one of my favorites I think. And if you look up here it the museum is actually shaped like the engine of a Ferrari so the design of the actual museum is really cool.
And because this is an Italian museum everyone is having coffee. I’m having gelato. This flavor is called paradiso. I think it is mango.
Well, our time in Italy has come to an end. We’re currently at the airport in Bologna enjoying one final lunch eating pizza.
This is part of our Travel in Emilia-Romagna, Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Wow another awesome video! Planning spring trip to include Bologna/Modena/Parma and looking at Agriturusmos – loved them so far – do you have one you'd recommend? Thanks as always!
I really have to thank the both of you. You cover many of the places i travel to and i get to see the area before i go. I loved your canada videos — i got great tips from those. I plan to visit Emelia Romagna soon — and even though i am italian and have been to italy many times, i found a lot of great info on your video here. Grazie mille!!!
I like the pasta making!!!
Agro touristica superb food hard working people clever engineers especially at SCM nothing but admiration for the people and the area including San Marino.
In Bologna it is fashionable to fine foreigners who visit the city by car. the fines are 92 euros and if you do not pay in 6 days costs 230 euros. the problem that in a lapse of three hours you get up to 4 fines. It's a shame but they are taking advantage of the visitors. the police tells you to park here and in 6 months very expensive fines arrive. we will never go there again.

Ohh Modena! I go there almost every summer for holidays! 🙂 Since you are in Europe, come to Poland guys! 🙂 It's so cheap travelling by ryanair/wizzair
really nice video… and looking delicious food..☺
So glad you had a chance to try some decent balsamic vinegar. Never settle for cheap balsamic vinegar again! I also like balsamic glaze which is a sweeter balsamic vinegar that's been reduced to be thicker. It's great on vegetables or on top of a salad.
Nice video. How about showing where you're staying?
Are you on a tour? Do you list the sites visited on your blog?
