Bologna grew up at the junction of the Via Aemila and the main road over the Apennines from Florence. Modern Bologna has a splendid medieval heritage, with its collection of charming porticoed streets, palaces clustered around the two central squares, the famous Torri degli Asinelli e Garisenda, the leaning towers mentioned in Dante's Divine Comedy. Last but not least a culinary Mecca.

Bologna (Footprint Pocket Handbooks S.) -  by Ben Donald
Popular mini guide to help you get the best out of Bologna. Covering the city itself, it looks outside the city to the popular excursions: the Appenine villages, Parma, Modena, Ferrara, Imola, Ravenna and Rimini. With streets like embroidered cloth, threaded with the arches of continuous colonnades, the heart of Bolgona is a giant cloister. The city is littered with breathtaking monuments and masterpieces all of which are readily accessible. If this were not mouth-watering enough Bologna is the food capital of Italy and renowed for its fast cars.
