SHOPPING IN BOLOGNA

"Bologna is an old lady with a slightly soft hip with her breasts on the Po land and her ass on the hills...”

Francesco Guccini described in this way Bologna. This city is perfect in its imperfections, amazing with its variety.

It is a learned city, because of the oldest University in the world born in 1088 right here; it is hospitable and abundant because in short, you know, here you eat well. Then it is red for its buildings and its towers: when you walk in the streets, you look around and see the red houses invaded by the sun.

Beauty and history here find the same space, in Bologna it is nice to walk under the arcades, discover its faces, the most hidden and unknown corners, its avenues and alleys.

It is precisely among these that today there are some of the most beautiful and exclusive shops in Italy.
