People have time to talk to you in Bologna. They really only
seem to hurry if their tagliatelle al ragú is
on the table - that's spaghetti bolognese to the rest of us.
Nicknamed the Red City for the warm colour of its rooftops and
porticoes, Bologna is elegant and embracing in a way that the
larger tourist hubs of Rome and Florence can perhaps never be.
With a fascinating history going back to the 6th century BC, today
it is a lively university city in Italy's northeast and still
revelling in the glory of being voted a European City of Culture
in 2000.
