Bologna

Hello,

Today I would like to write something about Bologna. It’s the city where I’ve been living for 6 months, during my Erasmus.

Bologna is a capital of Emiglia - Romagna Region. It’s perfect place to visit because there are a lot of things to see. It’s a city of the oldest university in the world, University of Bologna, founded in 1088. There are a lot of students from Italy but also from other countries.

It has three nicknames: la dotta (the learned), la grassa (the fat - it’s related to cuisine) and la rossa (the typical red color of the roofs). The food it’ s very considerable there.

Bologna is an important artistic and cultural center. The most popular tourist attractions are Piazza Maggiore and Piazza di Nettuno (the main town squares); Basilica of St. Petronius; Leaning Towers; St. Stephen Basilica; Archaeological Museum; St. Dominic Church; Basilica of San Pietro, National Gallery.

Here you have a link to the short film about Bologna:
