Tour description

We will discover the beauty of Bologna not only through its monuments but above all through the stories of its people! Every citizen of Bologna, every visitor, and every ruler of the city left a strong imprint on it. Through anecdotes and curiosities, we will uncover a city that is both secular and religious, sacred and profane.

We will understand what lies beneath its Portici and within the red walls of the historic centre, strolling among the Torri, Piazza Maggiore, "Piazza Grande," Piazza Santo Stefano, as well as other more characteristic and unusual places.

I will strive to immerse you in the tales of this city and take a leap into its past together with you, and then back to the stories of its wonderful present.

The starting point of the tour will be in Piazza del Nettuno, on the steps of the Sala Borsa Library.
