DUE TORRI
Bologna and its towers: a lifelong affair. Let’s start from the most amazing medieval buildings that still dominate the city skyline.
THE ELEGANCE OF THE PORTICOES
Let's travel back to the fifteenth century with the elegant red and white marble columns of one of the most beautiful Unesco Heritage porticoes in Bologna.
