General Information on Bologna
The ochre colouring of the medieval buildings in the fading evening light added to the expression 'Red Bologna'. Pleasantly enough, Bologna is a city relatively unspoilt by tourism. The heart of Bologna is around the twin piazzas, Maggiore and Nettuno - a handsome public space sealed on all sides by medieval palaces and the hulk of San Petronio. Here, the Bolognese come to shop, to pray, and, of course, to chat. Unsurprisingly, the local cuisine goes far beyond the world famous spaghetti Bolognese.
