   Pass by

   Bologna is one of Italy’s most captivating cities, blending history, culture, and vibrant daily life. Known as “La Dotta, La Grassa e La Rossa” (“The Learned, The Fat, and The Red”), it embodies each nickname. “La Dotta” refers to its University, founded in 1088, the oldest in the Western world, which fills the city with youthful energy. Its historic center, among the largest and best preserved in Europe, features medieval towers, Renaissance palaces, and over 40 kilometers of porticoes, including the Portico di San Luca with panoramic views. “La Grassa” celebrates Bologna’s culinary tradition, home to iconic dishes like tagliatelle al ragù, tortellini in brodo, and mortadella, best enjoyed in markets such as the Quadrilatero. “La Rossa” recalls the terracotta rooftops and the city’s progressive spirit, visible from the Asinelli Tower. A UNESCO Creative City of Music, Bologna offers museums, festivals, and a lively atmosphere where tradition and modern life coexist.
