Among the picturesque hills of the Padan Plain in the blessed region of Emilia-Romagna, Bologna is located – one of the most prosperous Italian cities, the culinary capital of the country and the birthplace of the oldest European university. The historical center of Bologna is full of palaces, temples and neighborhoods built during the Early Middle Ages and well preserved thanks to timely reconstruction.
Once the great Copernicus and Dante roamed the streets of the city, cooks diligently invented a new kind of pasta and sauce especially for the wedding of Lucrezia Borgia, and the founder of the ancient Dominican Order read his sermons to the grateful flock. History itself was created in Bologna, whose secrets have been carefully preserved here for many centuries.
