Porticoed streets and the home of parmesan, prosciutto and tortellini.

Bologna’s red-brick old town is lined with kilometres of arcades and topped by medieval towers. It is the gateway to Italy’s food valley: balsamic vinegar in Modena, Parmigiano Reggiano and Parma ham around Parma, and fresh pasta everywhere.
