About the location
Bologna is Italy's best kept secret, safe from the crowds usually flocking in Rome, Venice and Florence (for now). The soul of the city can be captured by its three sobriquets: "La Grassa", meaning "The Fat" (referring to the mouth-watering cuisine), "La Rossa", meaning "The Red (referring to its political history and beautiful architecture), and "La Dotta", meaning "The Learned" (referring to the oldest university still operating in the Western world).
