Things to do in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

December 14, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

While crowds of tourists fill Venice, Florence and Rome, Bologna remains relatively quiet in comparison. This medieval university town is charming, historic and fun to explore… and you'll find Bologna's local cuisine is light-years away from the American deli meat bearing the city's name.

Fondazione Carlo Gajani

The Carlo Gajani Foundation is located in via Castagnoli 14, in the heart of Bologna, close to the Palazzo Bentivoglio and the ancient University. This was Carlo Gajani's home and studio, and its character has been exactly preserved. Many of the artist's works - pictures, prints, engravings, photographs - are on show. At the same time, domestic things conserve the flavour of his daily existence. The Foundation may be visited by appointment starting from November 2014.

Finestrella di Via Piella

Reviewed By rmrkvica - Bratislava, Slovakia

Preparing to our trip to Bologna, I found on the Internet a photo that looked like Venice. I did not believe in the photograph, but the curiosity was stronger and I put it on schedule. Then, right in Bologna, we headed down Via dell Independenza from Neptune's Fountain, then turned right on Via Bertiera, then a few meters to the left on Via Piella, and suddenly as if through a portal you find yourself in Venice. They say, it was a channel that brought water to the mill. But the truth is that it worked beautiful and relatively fresh in the city center, which is of stone and greenery you have to look quite carefully (I do not speak about parks and flower pots). It was as if you jumped 100 km to the northeast and found yourself in a small Venetian alley for a short while.
