Bologna Tours

To describe what Bologna is, Italians use three different adjectives. The first is “la Dotta” (“the Erudite”), because it is the site of the most ancient university in occidental world: the Alma Mater Studiorum. The second is “La Rossa” (“the Red”), because of the color of the bricks with which all the buildings and the towers were constructed. Moreover, it refers to the color of Ferrari and Ducati. Finally, “la Grassa” (“the Fat”), indicating the rich variety of its cuisine. Tortellini, lasagna, mortadella, Parma ham and ragout are just a few of all the products you can taste.
