Why Bologna?
Bologna is a city famous for
its university, its rich cultural and social life, its
well-preserved city centre, its cusine, the hospitality
of its people; and yet it is off the traditional tourist
track: this is why it is the ideal place for learning
about genuine Italian life in a truly authentic setting.

Bologna, Italy, is the most important junction in Italy
both for highway and for railway, owing its geographic
location.
It's by train from Florence, 1.45 hour from Venice or Milan and 2.40 hour from Rome;
furthermore, it has an international airport with daily
flights to all major european capitals and New York.
Bologna is also known as La Dotta (The Learned - it has Europe's oldest University) La Rossa (The Red - for its colours), La Grassa (The Plentiful or Fat or Fertile).
Some say that food itself is a principal subject of study
here!
Bologna is nationally known for its good quality of life.
It is easy to get to know and has instant appeal.
It is also fast to get into the centre - just twenty
five minutes from the airport - making it a wise choice
for a short break.
A chief source of pleasure is simply strolling "within the
walls" of this elegant city.
There are many fine piazza, churches and palazzi, fine art
and contemporary art galleries, and fascinating museums.
Bologna has the cultural life of a much larger city and
there is always a full programme of cultural events and
exhibitions.
Given the local love of the good life - in fact another
nickname for the city is "La Godereccia" or
the city that likes to enjoy itself - and the presence of
150, 000 University students, Bologna also has a lively
night life. |
