 Bologna is known as “Bologna The Fat” for both its sumptuous cuisine and wealthy residents, “Bologna The Cultured” as it is home to Europe’s oldest university and “Bologna The Red” for both the predominant colour of its architecture and for its fascinating Communist history.
One of the most striking aspects of this city are the porticoed streets allegedly built to offer shelter to its students in its early years and a series of towers in various different states of disrepair, built by families as a way to show off their wealth.
A Bolognese weekend is a cultural and culinary treat that will leave you feeling smug that you have discovered a true gem away from the tourist hordes of Venice and Florence.
