I always thought I knew Bologna very well but only when I became a tour guide I discovered the city and fell in love with it. Bologna, chief town of Emilia-Romagna Region, is known worldwide as "La Dotta", "The Learned" because it was home to the first university in Europe founded in 1088, even Dante and Petrarch can be numbered among its former students and the 100, 000 students enrolled nowadays make it a lively and cosmopolitan place. Commonly known as "La Grassa", "The Fat" thanks to reputedly the best cuisine in Italy. "La Rossa", "The Red" referring to both the colour of its brick buildings and "La Turrita", "The Towered" for the presence of 24 towers of the 100 built in the city around the XII century. During this tour I will explain the reasons why Bologna is known in Italy and abroad as dotta, rossa, turrita and grassa. From art and culture tradition up to gastronomic excellence. Do not miss this opportunity to explore Bologna with me, your local guide
