Bologna how beautiful you are under the arcades!

Bologna is defined as the Red, the Learned, the Fat ... but above all, Bologna is the city of arcades.
Since the Middle Ages, these structures, first in wood and then in masonry, have marked the urban evolution of the city.
Present from the 11th century until today, they are a private space but open and public at the same time.
About 45km of arcades only within the city walls and about 60km in total, make Bologna the city with the most arcades in the world.
Bologna is officially the "City of Porticoes" with the nomination of UNESCO World Heritage , which arrived on July 28, 2021, directly from Fuzhou in China. The registration constitutes a new recognition by UNESCO for the city of Bologna which, in 2006, was declared the Creative City of Music .
