Join us for a captivating virtual walk through the historic center of Bologna, one of Italy’s most fascinating cities. Led by Patrizia, this immersive tour invites you to wander through a maze of medieval streets, graceful porticoes, and lively piazzas that reveal the city’s unique character and deep-rooted history.

Bologna is often called “La Dotta, La Grassa, La Rossa”—the Learned, the Fat, and the Red—for good reason. It’s home to the oldest university in the Western world, a rich culinary tradition that includes tortellini, tagliatelle al ragù, and mortadella, and a warm terracotta hue that colors its rooftops and buildings.

As we stroll with Patrizia, you’ll get a taste of Bologna’s vibrant atmosphere. You’ll see elegant towers rising above the city, beautifully preserved medieval churches, and local life unfolding beneath the iconic porticoes—now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the majestic Piazza Maggiore, where history and civic life have intersected for centuries, to quieter alleyways where artisans still work and students gather, you’ll come away with a deeper sense of Bologna’s soul.

So get comfortable, pour yourself an espresso or a glass of local Lambrusco, and let us take you on a inspiring walk through the heart of Bologna.
