According to the town’s tourist brochure (reproducing a quotation from Umberto Eco), this is the most beautiful city of the entire Italy! Who could resist the temptation of visiting this highly recommended place? It is located in a distance of 100 km from Rimini and although Eco’s praise is a bit overstated, San Leo once known as Montefeltro deserves at least a half-day visit.

San Marino
As we had little time at our disposal before leaving Italy, we decided to spend it in the best possible way. The sights around Rimini Fiera (where the convention we had attended took place) were plentiful but the choice wasn’t that hard.

Pavia, university city
City of a hundred towers, the capital of the kingdom of Italy, home to one of the oldest Italian universities to which are related prestigious names such as Alessandro Volta, Carlo Rubbia, Ugo Foscolo, Carlo Goldoni.
