Up and Coming Italy: Emilia Romagna!!!


I have been saying it for probably 4 years now amungst family, friends, and fellow travelers. Now I am starting it see it in magazines and people are beginning to discover it. The new up and coming Tuscany and Umbria is the Emilia Romagna region! The three towns of Forlì, Cesena, and Bologna are everything people fell in love with in Tuscany and Umbria, with a dash of everything in between! Not to mention ryanair fly's right in and out of Forlì for quick access! Plus it houses the hill town country of San Marino! It is the undiscovered corner of the country which seldomly seen toursits. Although has plenty of B&B's, cheapers hotels, excellent wine, amazing food, and the best people. To seal the deal are the costal cities of Rimini and Cervia are untouched by large groups of tourists, but are just as beautiful as the amalfi coast and cinque terra. You will start to see this region start to explode soon due to the amount of jobs becoming available throughtout the region. Droves of people from all over italy, especially the southern regions are moving to north east of italy to hit the rest button on their trade market. Emilia Romagna is it! The real deal!

Napoli: part I


We are starting to cover Napoli in several parts, short and to the point. In Part I we are going to cover:


Seat Belts
Pizza
Best Hostel




Seat Belts:
In Napoli no one wears seat belts!! Although it is becoming more common now most for saftey for children. But it is considered disrespectful to the driver if you put on your seat belt! Almost as if you don't trust the way he drives...So next time your in Napoli don't reach for the seat belt until you see what the driver dose...if He/She puts one on, then you are golden, if not welcome to Napoli!!!

Pizza:
Pizza was invented in Napoli! It's an art and a science. Sadly most places in italy really dont make a good pizza. The original pizza was marinara sause with chunks of mozzorella cheese and a dash of extra virgin olive oil! Then with the uniting of italy the Neapolitans added basil to display all the colors of the Italian flag! This pizza is called "Pizza Margharita", and you can order it all over Napoli, make sure to ask locals which pizzaria is the best in the area! They will have no problem telling you...

Napoli Hostels:
For the best Hostel in Napoli I would recomend "Hostel of the Sun" it will run you about $25 USD a night, but its one of the best in Napoli! Excellent location, Fun staff, and Safe. Also rated top 10 hostel's in the world in 2006 and 2007. It is positioned in a great place for trips to the amalfi coast, down town Napoli, Island of Capri, Island of Ischa, and much more. As always you can look on hostelworld.com to see other great places to stayin Napoli!
