Bologna, Part II: a Contribution by a Travelogue ReaderMon, 15 Mar 2010

I’m a travel agent born and raised in Bologna. I now live near Parma, another wonderful city in the Emilia region, where I run a travel agency that deals with incoming tourism in our beautiful provinces of Emilia Romagna. Besides what it’s been written here in the travelogue about Bologna, my birthplace, I need to add that this town is not only the representation of Medieval cities, but also the spirit of the Renaissance first and then of the Baroque, not forgetting its foundations in Roman times. If in the Roman period Bologna was the most important crossroad of the famous Via Emilia, together with the roads leading to Rome, the city is nowadays one of the main motorway and railway junctions connecting the North and South of the Italian Peninsula. The stunning Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque buildings fill the old town centre. The Gallerie Comunali , the town art galleries, rich of masterpieces of the Bolognese School of the ‘600s, the Egyptian Museum, one of the most important in Italy, and the Civic Museum with its Roman and Medieval finds are cultural gemstones. Other places of interest in Bologna include the Museo Privato della Tappezzeria (Private Museum of Tapestry), the Town Theatre – a Baroque masterpiece of the Bibiena brothers – and its many churches, proof of the period of domination of the papacy on the town, such as the wonderful Basilica di San Domenico, with its Arca di San Domenico (Ark of Saint Dominic), a Renaissance masterpiece containing the remains of the Saint by Nicolò dell’Arca with contributions of young Michelangelo.
