Bologna: learned, fat and red

Almost 40 km of porticoes listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the oldest university in the Western world, the Two Towers and Piazza Maggiore with the Neptune fountain and San Petronio. And a cuisine worth the trip on its own: tortellini in broth, tagliatelle with ragù, mortadella.

Modena, Ferrara, Ravenna and the Motor Valley are all within an hour, and Florence is 35 minutes away by high-speed train.
