Really enjoyed this virtual tour of the Emilia-Romagna region with Francine and Dr. Frank. They are the perfect team for this presentation! On my next visit, will definitely plan to tour the auto museums and race courses and try some of this region’s traditional foods.

This was such a fun session. Both presenters were great and did a super job of interacting and speaking during the event. I can't wait to visit the area!
It was such an interesting presentation. You do not need to be a car aficionado to enjoy this course. The presenters, Francine Segan and Dr Frank Celenza did an excellent job providing information about the region through cars and food. I learned so many interesting facts about both. It is an area I am looking forward to visiting, even if I wasn’t, I would still highly recommend this course.
This was a really interesting conversation. I love it when I can appreciate someone else's love for something I didn't think I'd be too interested in (namely the cars). I am going to Modena in a few weeks and now will definitely visit at least one of the car museums.
