Description
Bologna is famous worldwide for its art, culture and heritage. It is home to the first European university and the hometown of many world-known artists, writers, musicians, and scientists. It is also renowned for its food tradition - you must have heard about our bolognese sauce and traditional lasagna. But Bologna also has many secrets...fancy knowing some of them?
Join me on this Online Experience, and we will head out under the vast blue Bolognese skies to explore the Piazza Maggiore, its monuments, and surrounding buildings.

We will then make our way to the symbol of Bologna, the Two Towers, and here I will regale you with some interesting trivia.
We will then make our way to the old Jewish Ghetto of the city, a hidden gem where you will learn about city life in the Middle Ages. As we walk around, I will tell you more about what happened to Bologna's Jewish community, the function of the porticoes, how many towers were standing in Bologna and why, and many more topics sure to enthral and enrich your experience of this area.
