Why Bologna ?
We suggest you simply try strolling down the arcades at sunset listening to the street musicians. Try sitting in the sun in the magical calm of Piazza Santo Stefano or, if you prefer the hustle and bustle, drop in at aperitif time at one of the many hostelries for which the city is famous. And what better way of finishing the evening than in a typical trattoria where you can relish delicious Bolognese pastas like tortellini and tagliatelle al ragł. The seat of the oldest University in the world, Bologna is culturally one of the liveliest cities in Italy. It is the kind of city where you can still go everywhere on foot and where you can readily get to know its inhabitants, whose friendliness and cordiality are famous throughout Italy. Cuisine
Bolognese cooking, which has earned the city the title of Bologna la grassa (literally "Bologna the fat"), is famous throughout the world. Tortellini is one of its best-known dishes. Legend has it that the shape of the tortellini was copied from the navel of Venus. Another famous pasta dish, tagliatelle, is supposed to have been an imitation Lucrezia Borgia's long blond hair at the time of her wedding with Alfonso d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara. Dishes well-worth sampling are Bologna's delicious green lasagne and its passatelli in clear meat broth.
