Strolling through the center with your guide, you will discover why Bologna has deserved recognition on a European scale as a “fat” city, as well as a “learned” one, since the Middle Ages and how the city owes this qualification not so much to specific foods as to a marked disposition to hospitality and to its function as a major commercial hub where food, goods and people of all origins have always crossed paths.
