logo

Bologna is a walled city with dozens of miles of porticos running along the sides of the streets. They have a range of designs, height, and length. So Bologna is a city for walking in any weather. It is home to the oldest university in Europe. It is very well known for its excellent food a fully justified reputation. It has been named as one of the most successful cities in the world in economic, environmental, and public service terms. So here is a view, or many views of this uncommonly beautiful place, from the twin towers to San Luca.

Uploading finished. Title modification and sequencing underway.
