Bologna, the City of Culture

There is a saying that claims “Bolognese people do not realize how beautiful their city is. Actually, they are well aware of it! Bologna is the result of a magical and alchemical mixture of art and culture. It has 12 city museums, 1 national museum, 4 church museums, 4 private-owned museums, 16 University museums and an invaluable Jewish museums. But it is also a lively cheerful place, brought alive by the thousand of university students who have been flocking to the Alma Mater Studiorum – the oldest University in the world – every since 1088 AD, the year of its establishment.

  1. Thank you for your post about my City!!!!
    I’d like to add a little something to it. There are Tours organized by the City hall, mainly during the Summer. They take you underground to discover an entire new City, the one with medieval water channels, etrurian and roman ruins, old passages and streets.
    It is fascinating and not many people know about it.
    But HEY,…that’s my hometown ! :-)
