Emilia Romagna
My wife and I will be in the region for 8 days. Can we set up camp in Bologna and do day tours everyday or would you suggest adding another camp base?
Thank you formally our comments in advance.

summer winter?
24 or 25?
If you like using trains to get about then Bologna is a great choice, but you could also look at Ferrara say (fewer options and smaller city). It really depends where you want to go, and if you want to find accom in a city or say an agriturismo

Do you have any specific things you want to see? What are your general interests? Will you be driving or using trains and buses?

Good that you found a place to stay as Bologna is the perfect base for exploring the region either by train or by car. We were there for a month a few years ago and took several day trips, Parma, Modena, Florence and Ravenna. Also rented a car for a day to visit Dora and a few other small places. Very worthwhile though we did end up with a fine for driving in a bus lane ( allegedly! ) so that day did work out expensive. The food And produce in the city is exceptional. We came back a few kgs heavier!

We live fairly near Bologna but we almost never go there by car. The time we strayed into the wrong lane, we drove because we were returning late. Another time we were bringing some furniture to a relative; he met us at the city gate to pilot us in, so we would avoid the ZTL.
If you visit Bologna and want to have a car, it's best to stay outside the wall, because the ZTLs are mostly (maybe all) inside the wall.
