Welcome Home to Bologna: Bologna, the largest city in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, is known for its vibrant blend of youthful energy and rich historical heritage. Nicknamed the Città Rossa for its red-tiled roofs, red bricks, and red-washed stucco palazzos, the city’s narrow streets and picturesque historic center offer a unique backdrop for exploring its ancient architecture. Home to the Alma Mater Studiorum, the University of Bologna—established in 1088 and the oldest in the Western World—Bologna’s educational legacy contributes to its lively atmosphere. With over twenty-five miles of porticoes, the city embodies a deep mercantile spirit and an enduring international flair, making a stroll through Bologna, a dive into its storied past and dynamic present.
Bologna’s reputation as a culinary hub is well-earned, with its iconic dishes showcasing the region’s rich flavors. Among the highlights are the classic tagliatelle, served with a hearty Bolognese ragù and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. The city is also famous for its tortellini, traditionally served in a savory meat broth. The smooth, thinly sliced Mortadella Bolognese and an extensive selection of fresh and aged cheeses further exemplify Bologna’s gastronomic excellence.
