Bologna is the very heart of Emilia-Romagna. Maybe you have heard about it as the "Learned city": it is home to the oldest university in the Western world (dating back to late 11th century). That is why I would like to show you the Archiginnasio, a beautiful building featuring thousands of shields of noble families from Italy and Europe. Let's discover together the link between them and old time students! It also contains one of the earlies public operating theatres (Teatro Anatomico). IF YOU WANT TO VISIT TEATRO ANATOMICO PLEASE TELL ME BECAUSE IT MUST BE BOOKED AND PREPAID Another highlight of Bologna is its main church, the Basilica of San Petronio, featuring the longest meridian line (a sort of sunlight dial) in the world! Then, strolling along colonnaded streets - I'll bring you through the colorful and lively marketplace area of Bologna. Don't miss it! It is full of historic shops selling delicious produce and eating places where you can try local and regional food and wine specialties.
Piazza Maggiore (the main square) Neptune Fountain Church of San Petronio (Meridian Line) Archiginnasio (Anatomical Theatre) Medieval Market Piazza and Palazzo della Mercanzia (the medieval Merchant's building and its square) Two Towers (the very tall Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda) NOTE - I'm available to extend this tour to a full day, including a visit to other interesting sites such as Santo Stefano (a complex of 4 interconnecting churches based on the design of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem) or San Domenico (this church contains a magnificent marble shrine with St Dominic's remains, decorated with several marble statues, 3 of them carved by young Michelangelo)… Please, contact me for a customised tour.
