Bologna lies at the very heart of life in Emilia Romagna; a beautiful regional capital that packs a heavy punch with its medieval porticoes, piazzas bursting with life and a gastronomic culture the envy of the world.
Occupying an area just to the north of the Apennine Mountains at the edge of the Po Valley, Bologna is flanked to its east and west by fellow provincial capitals such as the historic cities of Modena and Ravenna while a short distance to its north east is the UNESCO-listed Ferrara. |
