In Italian there’s a saying about Bologna: la dotta, la grassa, la rossa. It translates to “the learned, the fat, the red,” and it fits!
The learned: Bologna can also claim the oldest university in the world, operating since 1088. Famous students include Petrarch, Copernicus, Enzo Ferrari, and several popes. While I don’t know that it’s quite a “sight” per say, it’s a cool claim to fame.
The fat: obvious, and completely earned. Pack your stretchy pants.
The red: The city’s architecture is largely brick, creating a unique feel from other classic Italian destinations. More than the brick, Bolognese architecture is characterized by porticos.

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
