The two towers The two towers During this time of prosperity, nearly every powerful and wealthy family built its own tower to assert its dominance to the point that the city once possessed as many as 180 towers! The twin towers were both built between 1109 - 1119 AD, but unlike many of the city's towers, they have survived largely intact since their construction. The higher tower belonged to the Asinelli family and rises 97 metres, a skyscraper by its own merit, while the smaller tower, la Torre Garisenda, is about half the size at 48 metres. The latter originally reached 60 metres, but was deliberately reduced in the 14th century for fear of collapse. Both towers are visibly leaning by about 2-3 metres! La Torre degli Asinelli is open to the public, but the courageous visitor must climb some 498 steps to be rewarded by spectacular views from the top. The reward is a top view of Bologna, which you can't really miss. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/11/2019 Madonna di San Luca Sanctuary Madonna di San Luca Sanctuary On a recent visit to Bologna, while I noticed an iluminated church on al hill. No matter how the freeway turned, it was visible. The city of Bologna is rather flat and to the East the foothills of the Appenines start. The Basilica di San Luca is situated on one of these hills. When travelling on the road to Florence you see it more clearly. It seems to be looking at the city and almost gives you the feeling of an guardian angel.On my visit there I started to climb a very long portico from the Via Saragozza, at city level. It streched endlessly in front of me. Climbing stairs and walking the incline was strenuous in the summer heat. At times looking back and looking down the endless way I had walked seemed as if I was in another world. At the top is the beautiful basilica. Unfortunately at that stage it was being restored. But nothing could compare with its beautiful architecture the view over the city and the mountains. We were allowed to visit the little chapel of the Madonna situated in the basilica and could peep in from the gallery.It is an experience that I will never forget although it took me a whole afternoon to visit it. There is a road to the top but walking from the city is an experience. There are alcoves in the portico, with painted murals. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/11/2019 The Square of Neptune The Square of Neptune One of the symbols of Bologna, the giant statue of the god Neptune, Nettuno in Italian, crowns a fountain of sculptures in the centre of Piazza del Nettuno. Completed in 1567, the fountain was commissioned by Cardinal Carlo Borromeo who assigned the project to the architect Tommaso Laureti. However, it was the sculptor Jean Boulogne (known as Giambologna or Giovanni da Bologna), famous for the sculpture of the Rape of the Sabine Women in Florence, who created the celebrated bronze statue of Nettuno to top Laureti's design. Locally referred to as il Gigante (the Giant), the god Neptune stands majestically above delightful sculptures of cherubs and nereids with four water spouts representing the major rivers of four continents. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/10/2019 Bologna's Piazza Maggiore Bologna's Piazza Maggiore Bologna's main square, Piazza Maggiore, is both its geographic centre and its cultural and political heart. The spacious piazza began to take on its current shape in the 13th century, and soon afterwards, it found itself encircled by the city's most important edifices. For the first time visitor, standing in the middle of la Piazza, as it is referred to locally, and gazing at the impressive architecture surrounding it could be an overwhelming experience. On one side is the enormous, albeit unfinished Basilica di San Petronio, and on the other three sides are monumental public palaces: Palazzo d'Accursio, Palazzo del Podestà, and Palazzo dei Banchi. The impressive Piazza Maggiore is connected to another square, Piazza del Nettuno, which is marked by the famous statue of Neptune. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/08/2019 Bologna's Mercato di Mezzo Bologna's Mercato di Mezzo Located in the most ancient part of Bologna, within a Roman street plan, il Mercato di Mezzo has been Bologna's traditional market are for at least two millennia. While the types of businesses have mostly changed in modern times, the names of the streets have eternalised the traditional businesses that were once thriving. Streets names, such as Pescherie, Calzolerie, Orefici, and Clavature, translate to fishermongers, shoemakers, jewellers, and key makers. This area, which is also known as il Quadrilatero, is located behind Palazzo dei Banchi on Piazza Maggiore, and Piazza della Mercanzia, just south of le Due Torri. Nowadays, the shops in the area sell mostly delicious-looking fresh products, as well as gourmet Italian food and wine products. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 26/03/2020 Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Pier Paolo Pasolini, was born in Bologna in 1922 by a middle-class family, where he will spend seven years of his life ("Beautiful and sweet Bologna! I have spent seven years, perhaps the most beautiful ..."). Here Pier Paolo cultivated new passions, such as football and fuelled his passion for reading includes several volumes of used books at the stalls of the Porch of Death. Pasolini has a fond memory of the city and he is impressed by the large square (Piazza Maggiore), heart of the city center of civil and religious life in Bologna. He remembers the great unfinished cathedral, made of traditional red brick and the lace that extends to the houses and the surrounding roofs, which make Bologna worthy of the name “La Rossa”. He often recalls the Town Hall, with its solemn ogival arcades, and the famous Portici, which run in the city for 40 km, from the elegant Church of the Servants of Piazza Malpinghi, not only an architectural element but the essence and the mood of the city. During the summer months they are an excellent protection from the sun and during the coldest months a perfect shelter from the rain. Bologna is to him a fascinating city with a simple living, simple but beautiful, which give rise to new ideas and interests. At Liceo Galvani in Bologna his school career continued with excellent results. He enrolled as, just seventeen, the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bologna and discovered new passions, such as Romance languages, especially the aesthetics of fine arts. While attending the Film Club of Bologna where he became fond with the cycle of films of René Clair, he devoted himself to the sport of football and was promoted to captain of the Faculty of Arts, he was cycling with friends and attending summer camps organized by the University of Bologna. Here one can see “Bologna la Dotta”, with the presence of one of the oldest university in Italy which continues today to be attended by numerous Italian and foreign students, and to maintain its role as a very active cultural center, always open to new and creative ideas. And in this Bologna, so lively and changing, Pasolini realizes he cannot come back, not for a fault, but for a value: the richness of life, cultural exchange and ideas that make Bologna so interesting and always different. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 05/07/2020 Accommodation All (100) Farm house (2) B&B (12) Campings (1) Hotels (83) Residence (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel San Felice Bologne I Portici Hotel Bologna Bologne Art Hotel Novecento Bologne Art Hotel Commercianti Bologne Hotel Metropolitan Bologne Zanhotel Regina Bologne Zanhotel Il Canale Bologne Zanhotel Tre Vecchi Bologne Grand Hotel Majestic gia' Baglioni Bologne Hotel Al Cappello Rosso Bologne Hotel Paradise Bologne Hotel Holiday Bologne Hotel Touring Bologne Hotel Centrale Bologne Hotel Porta San Mamolo Bologne Albergo San Vitale Bologne Art Hotel Orologio Bologne Hotel Corona d'Oro 1890 Bologne Hotel Internazionale Bologne Royal Hotel Carlton Bologne Hotel Palace Bologne Hotel Atlantic Bologne Le Stanze Del Carro Bologne Antica Residenza D'Azeglio Bologne Casa Ilaria Bologne 6 Di Casa Marconi Bologne Hotel San Giorgio Bologne Hotel Donatello Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House occupies a whole building featuring a traditional Bolognese style.The elegant rooms offer a flat-screen satellite TV, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi.

During this time of prosperity, nearly every powerful and wealthy family built its own tower to assert its dominance to the point that the city once possessed as many as 180 towers! The twin towers were both built between 1109 - 1119 AD, but unlike many of the city's towers, they have survived largely intact since their construction. The higher tower belonged to the Asinelli family and rises 97 metres, a skyscraper by its own merit, while the smaller tower, la Torre Garisenda, is about half the size at 48 metres. The latter originally reached 60 metres, but was deliberately reduced in the 14th century for fear of collapse. Both towers are visibly leaning by about 2-3 metres! La Torre degli Asinelli is open to the public, but the courageous visitor must climb some 498 steps to be rewarded by spectacular views from the top. The reward is a top view of Bologna, which you can't really miss.
Madonna di San Luca Sanctuary Madonna di San Luca Sanctuary On a recent visit to Bologna, while I noticed an iluminated church on al hill. No matter how the freeway turned, it was visible. The city of Bologna is rather flat and to the East the foothills of the Appenines start. The Basilica di San Luca is situated on one of these hills. When travelling on the road to Florence you see it more clearly. It seems to be looking at the city and almost gives you the feeling of an guardian angel.On my visit there I started to climb a very long portico from the Via Saragozza, at city level. It streched endlessly in front of me. Climbing stairs and walking the incline was strenuous in the summer heat. At times looking back and looking down the endless way I had walked seemed as if I was in another world. At the top is the beautiful basilica. Unfortunately at that stage it was being restored. But nothing could compare with its beautiful architecture the view over the city and the mountains. We were allowed to visit the little chapel of the Madonna situated in the basilica and could peep in from the gallery.It is an experience that I will never forget although it took me a whole afternoon to visit it. There is a road to the top but walking from the city is an experience. There are alcoves in the portico, with painted murals. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/11/2019 The Square of Neptune The Square of Neptune One of the symbols of Bologna, the giant statue of the god Neptune, Nettuno in Italian, crowns a fountain of sculptures in the centre of Piazza del Nettuno. Completed in 1567, the fountain was commissioned by Cardinal Carlo Borromeo who assigned the project to the architect Tommaso Laureti. However, it was the sculptor Jean Boulogne (known as Giambologna or Giovanni da Bologna), famous for the sculpture of the Rape of the Sabine Women in Florence, who created the celebrated bronze statue of Nettuno to top Laureti's design. Locally referred to as il Gigante (the Giant), the god Neptune stands majestically above delightful sculptures of cherubs and nereids with four water spouts representing the major rivers of four continents. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/10/2019 Bologna's Piazza Maggiore Bologna's Piazza Maggiore Bologna's main square, Piazza Maggiore, is both its geographic centre and its cultural and political heart. The spacious piazza began to take on its current shape in the 13th century, and soon afterwards, it found itself encircled by the city's most important edifices. For the first time visitor, standing in the middle of la Piazza, as it is referred to locally, and gazing at the impressive architecture surrounding it could be an overwhelming experience. On one side is the enormous, albeit unfinished Basilica di San Petronio, and on the other three sides are monumental public palaces: Palazzo d'Accursio, Palazzo del Podestà, and Palazzo dei Banchi.

While the types of businesses have mostly changed in modern times, the names of the streets have eternalised the traditional businesses that were once thriving.

This area, which is also known as il Quadrilatero, is located behind Palazzo dei Banchi on Piazza Maggiore, and Piazza della Mercanzia, just south of le Due Torri. Nowadays, the shops in the area sell mostly delicious-looking fresh products, as well as gourmet Italian food and wine products. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 26/03/2020 Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Pier Paolo Pasolini, was born in Bologna in 1922 by a middle-class family, where he will spend seven years of his life ("Beautiful and sweet Bologna! I have spent seven years, perhaps the most beautiful ..."). Here Pier Paolo cultivated new passions, such as football and fuelled his passion for reading includes several volumes of used books at the stalls of the Porch of Death. Pasolini has a fond memory of the city and he is impressed by the large square (Piazza Maggiore), heart of the city center of civil and religious life in Bologna. He remembers the great unfinished cathedral, made of traditional red brick and the lace that extends to the houses and the surrounding roofs, which make Bologna worthy of the name “La Rossa”. He often recalls the Town Hall, with its solemn ogival arcades, and the famous Portici, which run in the city for 40 km, from the elegant Church of the Servants of Piazza Malpinghi, not only an architectural element but the essence and the mood of the city. During the summer months they are an excellent protection from the sun and during the coldest months a perfect shelter from the rain. Bologna is to him a fascinating city with a simple living, simple but beautiful, which give rise to new ideas and interests. At Liceo Galvani in Bologna his school career continued with excellent results. He enrolled as, just seventeen, the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bologna and discovered new passions, such as Romance languages, especially the aesthetics of fine arts. While attending the Film Club of Bologna where he became fond with the cycle of films of René Clair, he devoted himself to the sport of football and was promoted to captain of the Faculty of Arts, he was cycling with friends and attending summer camps organized by the University of Bologna. Here one can see “Bologna la Dotta”, with the presence of one of the oldest university in Italy which continues today to be attended by numerous Italian and foreign students, and to maintain its role as a very active cultural center, always open to new and creative ideas. And in this Bologna, so lively and changing, Pasolini realizes he cannot come back, not for a fault, but for a value: the richness of life, cultural exchange and ideas that make Bologna so interesting and always different. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 05/07/2020 Accommodation All (100) Farm house (2) B&B (12) Campings (1) Hotels (83) Residence (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel San Felice Bologne I Portici Hotel Bologna Bologne Art Hotel Novecento Bologne Art Hotel Commercianti Bologne Hotel Metropolitan Bologne Zanhotel Regina Bologne Zanhotel Il Canale Bologne Zanhotel Tre Vecchi Bologne Grand Hotel Majestic gia' Baglioni Bologne Hotel Al Cappello Rosso Bologne Hotel Paradise Bologne Hotel Holiday Bologne Hotel Touring Bologne Hotel Centrale Bologne Hotel Porta San Mamolo Bologne Albergo San Vitale Bologne Art Hotel Orologio Bologne Hotel Corona d'Oro 1890 Bologne Hotel Internazionale Bologne Royal Hotel Carlton Bologne Hotel Palace Bologne Hotel Atlantic Bologne Le Stanze Del Carro Bologne Antica Residenza D'Azeglio Bologne Casa Ilaria Bologne 6 Di Casa Marconi Bologne Hotel San Giorgio Bologne Hotel Donatello Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House occupies a whole building featuring a traditional Bolognese style.The elegant rooms offer a flat-screen satellite TV, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi.

On a recent visit to Bologna, while I noticed an iluminated church on al hill. No matter how the freeway turned, it was visible. The city of Bologna is rather flat and to the East the foothills of the Appenines start. The Basilica di San Luca is situated on one of these hills. When travelling on the road to Florence you see it more clearly. It seems to be looking at the city and almost gives you the feeling of an guardian angel.On my visit there I started to climb a very long portico from the Via Saragozza, at city level. It streched endlessly in front of me. Climbing stairs and walking the incline was strenuous in the summer heat. At times looking back and looking down the endless way I had walked seemed as if I was in another world. At the top is the beautiful basilica. Unfortunately at that stage it was being restored. But nothing could compare with its beautiful architecture the view over the city and the mountains. We were allowed to visit the little chapel of the Madonna situated in the basilica and could peep in from the gallery.It is an experience that I will never forget although it took me a whole afternoon to visit it. There is a road to the top but walking from the city is an experience. There are alcoves in the portico, with painted murals.
The Square of Neptune The Square of Neptune One of the symbols of Bologna, the giant statue of the god Neptune, Nettuno in Italian, crowns a fountain of sculptures in the centre of Piazza del Nettuno. Completed in 1567, the fountain was commissioned by Cardinal Carlo Borromeo who assigned the project to the architect Tommaso Laureti. However, it was the sculptor Jean Boulogne (known as Giambologna or Giovanni da Bologna), famous for the sculpture of the Rape of the Sabine Women in Florence, who created the celebrated bronze statue of Nettuno to top Laureti's design. Locally referred to as il Gigante (the Giant), the god Neptune stands majestically above delightful sculptures of cherubs and nereids with four water spouts representing the major rivers of four continents. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/10/2019 Bologna's Piazza Maggiore Bologna's Piazza Maggiore Bologna's main square, Piazza Maggiore, is both its geographic centre and its cultural and political heart.

For the first time visitor, standing in the middle of la Piazza, as it is referred to locally, and gazing at the impressive architecture surrounding it could be an overwhelming experience.

One of the symbols of Bologna, the giant statue of the god Neptune, Nettuno in Italian, crowns a fountain of sculptures in the centre of Piazza del Nettuno. Completed in 1567, the fountain was commissioned by Cardinal Carlo Borromeo who assigned the project to the architect Tommaso Laureti. However, it was the sculptor Jean Boulogne (known as Giambologna or Giovanni da Bologna), famous for the sculpture of the Rape of the Sabine Women in Florence, who created the celebrated bronze statue of Nettuno to top Laureti's design. Locally referred to as il Gigante (the Giant), the god Neptune stands majestically above delightful sculptures of cherubs and nereids with four water spouts representing the major rivers of four continents.
Bologna's Piazza Maggiore Bologna's Piazza Maggiore Bologna's main square, Piazza Maggiore, is both its geographic centre and its cultural and political heart. The spacious piazza began to take on its current shape in the 13th century, and soon afterwards, it found itself encircled by the city's most important edifices. For the first time visitor, standing in the middle of la Piazza, as it is referred to locally, and gazing at the impressive architecture surrounding it could be an overwhelming experience. On one side is the enormous, albeit unfinished Basilica di San Petronio, and on the other three sides are monumental public palaces: Palazzo d'Accursio, Palazzo del Podestà, and Palazzo dei Banchi. The impressive Piazza Maggiore is connected to another square, Piazza del Nettuno, which is marked by the famous statue of Neptune. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/08/2019 Bologna's Mercato di Mezzo Bologna's Mercato di Mezzo Located in the most ancient part of Bologna, within a Roman street plan, il Mercato di Mezzo has been Bologna's traditional market are for at least two millennia. While the types of businesses have mostly changed in modern times, the names of the streets have eternalised the traditional businesses that were once thriving. Streets names, such as Pescherie, Calzolerie, Orefici, and Clavature, translate to fishermongers, shoemakers, jewellers, and key makers. This area, which is also known as il Quadrilatero, is located behind Palazzo dei Banchi on Piazza Maggiore, and Piazza della Mercanzia, just south of le Due Torri. Nowadays, the shops in the area sell mostly delicious-looking fresh products, as well as gourmet Italian food and wine products. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 26/03/2020 Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Pier Paolo Pasolini, was born in Bologna in 1922 by a middle-class family, where he will spend seven years of his life ("Beautiful and sweet Bologna! I have spent seven years, perhaps the most beautiful ..."). Here Pier Paolo cultivated new passions, such as football and fuelled his passion for reading includes several volumes of used books at the stalls of the Porch of Death. Pasolini has a fond memory of the city and he is impressed by the large square (Piazza Maggiore), heart of the city center of civil and religious life in Bologna. He remembers the great unfinished cathedral, made of traditional red brick and the lace that extends to the houses and the surrounding roofs, which make Bologna worthy of the name “La Rossa”. He often recalls the Town Hall, with its solemn ogival arcades, and the famous Portici, which run in the city for 40 km, from the elegant Church of the Servants of Piazza Malpinghi, not only an architectural element but the essence and the mood of the city. During the summer months they are an excellent protection from the sun and during the coldest months a perfect shelter from the rain. Bologna is to him a fascinating city with a simple living, simple but beautiful, which give rise to new ideas and interests. At Liceo Galvani in Bologna his school career continued with excellent results. He enrolled as, just seventeen, the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bologna and discovered new passions, such as Romance languages, especially the aesthetics of fine arts. While attending the Film Club of Bologna where he became fond with the cycle of films of René Clair, he devoted himself to the sport of football and was promoted to captain of the Faculty of Arts, he was cycling with friends and attending summer camps organized by the University of Bologna. Here one can see “Bologna la Dotta”, with the presence of one of the oldest university in Italy which continues today to be attended by numerous Italian and foreign students, and to maintain its role as a very active cultural center, always open to new and creative ideas. And in this Bologna, so lively and changing, Pasolini realizes he cannot come back, not for a fault, but for a value: the richness of life, cultural exchange and ideas that make Bologna so interesting and always different. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 05/07/2020 Accommodation All (100) Farm house (2) B&B (12) Campings (1) Hotels (83) Residence (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel San Felice Bologne I Portici Hotel Bologna Bologne Art Hotel Novecento Bologne Art Hotel Commercianti Bologne Hotel Metropolitan Bologne Zanhotel Regina Bologne Zanhotel Il Canale Bologne Zanhotel Tre Vecchi Bologne Grand Hotel Majestic gia' Baglioni Bologne Hotel Al Cappello Rosso Bologne Hotel Paradise Bologne Hotel Holiday Bologne Hotel Touring Bologne Hotel Centrale Bologne Hotel Porta San Mamolo Bologne Albergo San Vitale Bologne Art Hotel Orologio Bologne Hotel Corona d'Oro 1890 Bologne Hotel Internazionale Bologne Royal Hotel Carlton Bologne Hotel Palace Bologne Hotel Atlantic Bologne Le Stanze Del Carro Bologne Antica Residenza D'Azeglio Bologne Casa Ilaria Bologne 6 Di Casa Marconi Bologne Hotel San Giorgio Bologne Hotel Donatello Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House occupies a whole building featuring a traditional Bolognese style.The elegant rooms offer a flat-screen satellite TV, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi.

Bologna's main square, Piazza Maggiore, is both its geographic centre and its cultural and political heart. The spacious piazza began to take on its current shape in the 13th century, and soon afterwards, it found itself encircled by the city's most important edifices. For the first time visitor, standing in the middle of la Piazza, as it is referred to locally, and gazing at the impressive architecture surrounding it could be an overwhelming experience. On one side is the enormous, albeit unfinished Basilica di San Petronio, and on the other three sides are monumental public palaces: Palazzo d'Accursio, Palazzo del Podestà, and Palazzo dei Banchi. The impressive Piazza Maggiore is connected to another square, Piazza del Nettuno, which is marked by the famous statue of Neptune.
Bologna's Mercato di Mezzo Bologna's Mercato di Mezzo Located in the most ancient part of Bologna, within a Roman street plan, il Mercato di Mezzo has been Bologna's traditional market are for at least two millennia. While the types of businesses have mostly changed in modern times, the names of the streets have eternalised the traditional businesses that were once thriving. Streets names, such as Pescherie, Calzolerie, Orefici, and Clavature, translate to fishermongers, shoemakers, jewellers, and key makers. This area, which is also known as il Quadrilatero, is located behind Palazzo dei Banchi on Piazza Maggiore, and Piazza della Mercanzia, just south of le Due Torri. Nowadays, the shops in the area sell mostly delicious-looking fresh products, as well as gourmet Italian food and wine products. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 26/03/2020 Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Pier Paolo Pasolini, was born in Bologna in 1922 by a middle-class family, where he will spend seven years of his life ("Beautiful and sweet Bologna! I have spent seven years, perhaps the most beautiful ..."). Here Pier Paolo cultivated new passions, such as football and fuelled his passion for reading includes several volumes of used books at the stalls of the Porch of Death. Pasolini has a fond memory of the city and he is impressed by the large square (Piazza Maggiore), heart of the city center of civil and religious life in Bologna. He remembers the great unfinished cathedral, made of traditional red brick and the lace that extends to the houses and the surrounding roofs, which make Bologna worthy of the name “La Rossa”. He often recalls the Town Hall, with its solemn ogival arcades, and the famous Portici, which run in the city for 40 km, from the elegant Church of the Servants of Piazza Malpinghi, not only an architectural element but the essence and the mood of the city. During the summer months they are an excellent protection from the sun and during the coldest months a perfect shelter from the rain. Bologna is to him a fascinating city with a simple living, simple but beautiful, which give rise to new ideas and interests. At Liceo Galvani in Bologna his school career continued with excellent results. He enrolled as, just seventeen, the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bologna and discovered new passions, such as Romance languages, especially the aesthetics of fine arts. While attending the Film Club of Bologna where he became fond with the cycle of films of René Clair, he devoted himself to the sport of football and was promoted to captain of the Faculty of Arts, he was cycling with friends and attending summer camps organized by the University of Bologna. Here one can see “Bologna la Dotta”, with the presence of one of the oldest university in Italy which continues today to be attended by numerous Italian and foreign students, and to maintain its role as a very active cultural center, always open to new and creative ideas. And in this Bologna, so lively and changing, Pasolini realizes he cannot come back, not for a fault, but for a value: the richness of life, cultural exchange and ideas that make Bologna so interesting and always different. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 05/07/2020 Accommodation All (100) Farm house (2) B&B (12) Campings (1) Hotels (83) Residence (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel San Felice Bologne I Portici Hotel Bologna Bologne Art Hotel Novecento Bologne Art Hotel Commercianti Bologne Hotel Metropolitan Bologne Zanhotel Regina Bologne Zanhotel Il Canale Bologne Zanhotel Tre Vecchi Bologne Grand Hotel Majestic gia' Baglioni Bologne Hotel Al Cappello Rosso Bologne Hotel Paradise Bologne Hotel Holiday Bologne Hotel Touring Bologne Hotel Centrale Bologne Hotel Porta San Mamolo Bologne Albergo San Vitale Bologne Art Hotel Orologio Bologne Hotel Corona d'Oro 1890 Bologne Hotel Internazionale Bologne Royal Hotel Carlton Bologne Hotel Palace Bologne Hotel Atlantic Bologne Le Stanze Del Carro Bologne Antica Residenza D'Azeglio Bologne Casa Ilaria Bologne 6 Di Casa Marconi Bologne Hotel San Giorgio Bologne Hotel Donatello Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House occupies a whole building featuring a traditional Bolognese style.The elegant rooms offer a flat-screen satellite TV, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi.

Located in the most ancient part of Bologna, within a Roman street plan, il Mercato di Mezzo has been Bologna's traditional market are for at least two millennia. While the types of businesses have mostly changed in modern times, the names of the streets have eternalised the traditional businesses that were once thriving. Streets names, such as Pescherie, Calzolerie, Orefici, and Clavature, translate to fishermongers, shoemakers, jewellers, and key makers. This area, which is also known as il Quadrilatero, is located behind Palazzo dei Banchi on Piazza Maggiore, and Piazza della Mercanzia, just south of le Due Torri. Nowadays, the shops in the area sell mostly delicious-looking fresh products, as well as gourmet Italian food and wine products.
Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Bologna seen with Pier Paolo Pasolini's eyes Pier Paolo Pasolini, was born in Bologna in 1922 by a middle-class family, where he will spend seven years of his life ("Beautiful and sweet Bologna! I have spent seven years, perhaps the most beautiful ..."). Here Pier Paolo cultivated new passions, such as football and fuelled his passion for reading includes several volumes of used books at the stalls of the Porch of Death. Pasolini has a fond memory of the city and he is impressed by the large square (Piazza Maggiore), heart of the city center of civil and religious life in Bologna. He remembers the great unfinished cathedral, made of traditional red brick and the lace that extends to the houses and the surrounding roofs, which make Bologna worthy of the name “La Rossa”. He often recalls the Town Hall, with its solemn ogival arcades, and the famous Portici, which run in the city for 40 km, from the elegant Church of the Servants of Piazza Malpinghi, not only an architectural element but the essence and the mood of the city. During the summer months they are an excellent protection from the sun and during the coldest months a perfect shelter from the rain. Bologna is to him a fascinating city with a simple living, simple but beautiful, which give rise to new ideas and interests. At Liceo Galvani in Bologna his school career continued with excellent results. He enrolled as, just seventeen, the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bologna and discovered new passions, such as Romance languages, especially the aesthetics of fine arts. While attending the Film Club of Bologna where he became fond with the cycle of films of René Clair, he devoted himself to the sport of football and was promoted to captain of the Faculty of Arts, he was cycling with friends and attending summer camps organized by the University of Bologna. Here one can see “Bologna la Dotta”, with the presence of one of the oldest university in Italy which continues today to be attended by numerous Italian and foreign students, and to maintain its role as a very active cultural center, always open to new and creative ideas. And in this Bologna, so lively and changing, Pasolini realizes he cannot come back, not for a fault, but for a value: the richness of life, cultural exchange and ideas that make Bologna so interesting and always different. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 05/07/2020 Accommodation All (100) Farm house (2) B&B (12) Campings (1) Hotels (83) Residence (1) Villas and holiday apartments (4) Hotel San Felice Bologne I Portici Hotel Bologna Bologne Art Hotel Novecento Bologne Art Hotel Commercianti Bologne Hotel Metropolitan Bologne Zanhotel Regina Bologne Zanhotel Il Canale Bologne Zanhotel Tre Vecchi Bologne Grand Hotel Majestic gia' Baglioni Bologne Hotel Al Cappello Rosso Bologne Hotel Paradise Bologne Hotel Holiday Bologne Hotel Touring Bologne Hotel Centrale Bologne Hotel Porta San Mamolo Bologne Albergo San Vitale Bologne Art Hotel Orologio Bologne Hotel Corona d'Oro 1890 Bologne Hotel Internazionale Bologne Royal Hotel Carlton Bologne Hotel Palace Bologne Hotel Atlantic Bologne Le Stanze Del Carro Bologne Antica Residenza D'Azeglio Bologne Casa Ilaria Bologne 6 Di Casa Marconi Bologne Hotel San Giorgio Bologne Hotel Donatello Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House Bologne Palazzo Trevi Charming House occupies a whole building featuring a traditional Bolognese style.The elegant rooms offer a flat-screen satellite TV, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi.

Pier Paolo Pasolini, was born in Bologna in 1922 by a middle-class family, where he will spend seven years of his life ("Beautiful and sweet Bologna! I have spent seven years, perhaps the most beautiful ..."). Here Pier Paolo cultivated new passions, such as football and fuelled his passion for reading includes several volumes of used books at the stalls of the Porch of Death. Pasolini has a fond memory of the city and he is impressed by the large square (Piazza Maggiore), heart of the city center of civil and religious life in Bologna. He remembers the great unfinished cathedral, made of traditional red brick and the lace that extends to the houses and the surrounding roofs, which make Bologna worthy of the name “La Rossa”. He often recalls the Town Hall, with its solemn ogival arcades, and the famous Portici, which run in the city for 40 km, from the elegant Church of the Servants of Piazza Malpinghi, not only an architectural element but the essence and the mood of the city. During the summer months they are an excellent protection from the sun and during the coldest months a perfect shelter from the rain. Bologna is to him a fascinating city with a simple living, simple but beautiful, which give rise to new ideas and interests. At Liceo Galvani in Bologna his school career continued with excellent results. He enrolled as, just seventeen, the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bologna and discovered new passions, such as Romance languages, especially the aesthetics of fine arts. While attending the Film Club of Bologna where he became fond with the cycle of films of René Clair, he devoted himself to the sport of football and was promoted to captain of the Faculty of Arts, he was cycling with friends and attending summer camps organized by the University of Bologna. Here one can see “Bologna la Dotta”, with the presence of one of the oldest university in Italy which continues today to be attended by numerous Italian and foreign students, and to maintain its role as a very active cultural center, always open to new and creative ideas. And in this Bologna, so lively and changing, Pasolini realizes he cannot come back, not for a fault, but for a value: the richness of life, cultural exchange and ideas that make Bologna so interesting and always different.
