Overview

A mix of art masterpieces, history, food stories, legends and secrets described by a local art lover with a great experience and knowledge of the city. Most of people get attracted by Bologna main concept "the learned, the red and , the fat," but this incredible huge medieval capital tends to hide itself, keeping its best atmospheres historical locations, and hidden gems for a handful of curious explorers.
So...be my explorers for a 3/4 hours full immersion in the ancient city, a labyrith of little alleys, and be prepared for an overwhelming experience where art history, architecture, medieval, renaisance, and baroqe heritage seem to merge while traditions, great food and history of music seem to be no more sepatrated by conceptual barriers. You will discover how the porticoes are not just an example of specific architectural heritage (recognized by the UNESCO) but are instead mainly components of an open-air musem of sculpture and paimtings.
