Bologna 

Bologna is the lively, historic capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, in northern Italy. Bologna is one of Italy's most charming cities, renowned for its rich history, elegant architecture, and historic landmarks such as Piazza Maggiore, Renaissance City Hall, the Fountain of Neptune, the medieval Two Towers of Bologna - leaning Asinelli and Garisenda, and the impressive Basilica of San Petronio.

The heart of the city, Piazza Maggiore is the result of centuries-old transformations that gradually enriched it with important buildings: the Basilica of San Petronio, the Palazzo dei Notai, the Palazzo d’Accursio (Town Hall), the Palazzo del Podesta and the Palazzo dei Banchi. It dates back to 1200.
