In Bologna food has the same importance as a work of art, and even though delicious food specialties are known all over Italy -every region exhibiting its own traditional ones- in this town there is a real celebration of food that dates back to ancient times. We know of this due to the existence of documents which testify laws and rules applied to the process of making food specialties. The Quadrilatero area, name of the old market area, located just in the very centre of town, is a crossroads of narrow cobblestone streets, still bearing the signs of the old network of activities and commerce that took place there in past centuries. We will walk in this area, where we can find all the traditional bolognese and regional foods, both in shops and in all kinds of eateries. Guided tour in between stops Customizable itinerary:
- The first stop is in the Mercato di Mezzo old covered market, where you'll have a traditional bolognese first course, at your choice. -Jut behind the corner in a famous gastronomy shop, you will taste a rich tray of cured meat, salame, mortadella, different kind of cheese together with typical Italian pickles. A glass of wine from the vineyards of the Emilia Romagna region will perfectly fit this food. -After some minutes walk, a tasting at the oldest and finest chocolate firms founded in Italy; as an alternative, another little shop full of any kind of sweets you could ever imagine will satisfy your wishes. -The last stop for a tasting is at the special Balsamic Vinegar from Modena shop, working since 16th c. as a balsamic and magic digestive. Original Balsamic Vinegar is produced only in Modena province. At every step I'll be describing the process of making the specialties, old traditions, and family habits in Bologna and in Italy, together with historical and artistic hints of the very centre.
