… Piazza Maggiore and the elegant shopping area.
Bologna is the town with medieval palaces, handsome brick buildings and porticoed streets together with the charming leaning towers of Garisenda and Asinelli. Bologna is located in the Pedemontana Apennine zone, at a place where the Reno valley opens out to the Emilia plain. Being the capital of the province of the same name and of the Emilia-Romagna region, this ancient city is an important commercial centre, both for the agricultural richness of the adjacent plain and for its position: Here some of the most important directions of national traffic are crossing(Florence-Bologna-Brenner, Florence-Bologna-Milan, Rimini-Bologna-Milan and Florence-Bologna-Venice). With its most notable sectors food, mechanics and shoemaking, the industrial component is of special importance to Bologna.
