Motor Valley Modena

An area of Italy near Bologna is the birthplace of both Ferrari and Lamborghini sports cars, as well as the home of other high-end car and motorcycle makers like Pagani, Ducati and Maserati. The region Emilia-Romagna is also the home of tortellini, Bolognese sauce and Parmesan cheese, but the main reason to go is about cars — fast, shiny and expensive cars.

And the best way to see these expensive machines is with Francesco Bini, founder and owner of MotorStars Tours ( http://www.motorstars.org). Francesco is engaging and informative. Tours typically visit three car makers and include lunch (with options to drive cars for an additional cost) making a full day tour. The tour was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that was interesting, entertaining and first-class throughout.

Indulge your car fantasy…go for it…!
