Did you know? Bologna

Bologna's nickname 'La Rossa' (The Red) refers to its distinctive terracotta roof tiles and medieval brick buildings, not its political history.

The city is home to the world's oldest university, the University of Bologna, founded in 1088 and still operating today.

Bologna's famous tagliatelle al ragù (Bolognese sauce) has a strictly defined recipe registered with the Bologna Chamber of Commerce since 1982.

The city boasts over 40 kilometres of porticoes (covered arcades), a UNESCO World Heritage site, protecting pedestrians from rain and sun.

San Petronio Basilica in Piazza Maggiore was designed to rival St. Peter's in Rome but remains unfinished, with its brick facade incomplete.
