To the world, Imola means the racetrack: the Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit in the park along the Santerno river, where Formula 1 wrote pages of glory and the tragedy of Ayrton Senna in 1994 — his memorial, inside the Acque Minerali park, is a quiet pilgrimage site. But the city beyond the track earns its keep: the Sforza fortress, complete and visitable, hosted Caterina Sforza and preserves entire armouries.
Palazzo Tozzoni lays out an intact noble home; the old hospital pharmacy lines up eighteenth-century jars. And the piadina here marries Romagna's sangiovese.
