City guide
Bologna
Bologna is Italy's culinary capital, source of ragu, tortellini and mortadella, wrapped in 38 kilometres of medieval porticoes below the leaning Asinelli and Garisenda towers. Europe's oldest university, founded in 1088, keeps the centre studenty and lived-in rather than purely a sightseeing stop.
