BOLOGNA - "La Turrita"

by croisbeauty - last update: Jun 20, 2007

Le Due Torri

Torre Asinelli from Piazza San Stefano
Bologna, chief town of the Italian region Emilia Romagna, is located between the two rivers Reno and Savena in the Po Valley (Pianura Padana), backing the Apenine Tosco-Emiliano. The town has a population of about 410.000.

La Grassa

In addition to being reputed to possess the most ancient University in all Europe and, therefore being called "La Dotta" (erudite), Bologna is also famous for its cooking, claimed to be a form of art here, whish bestows upon the town another funny nick-name: "La Grassa" (the fatty town). In fact, cooked pasta such as "Lasagne al Forno", "Tortellino in brodo" and Bolognese meat sauce" cannot be missed in the Restaurants in town.

Porticoes

Finally, Bologna is also called "La Turrita", which means packed with towers, because of its countless towers and porticos (36 km of porticos are reckoned to form the body of the town).

 Ehi ho subito il sorpasso....la gravidanza mi ha impedito di aggiornare le mie pagine di Bologna, spero di farlo al più presto...fra un mesetto saremo in tre!
