The importance of Bologna in Italy and in Europe, considered from the cultural, industrial, trade, social, political, and economic points of view is much greater than suggested by its demographic data: there are about 400,000 inhabitants in the city proper and about 1 million in the metropolitan area, including over 100,000 students of the ancient and renowned University of Bologna, founded in the eleventh century making it the oldest university in the western world. Dante, Petrarca, Coppernicus and Erasmus all studied in Bologna. Today it is lively and animated by the many students that chose it being particularly famous for its schools of communications, translations and interpretation.

Bologna is one of the most interesting cities in Italy. Surrounded by green hills, in the shade of 38 kilometres of porches covering its sidewalks, it is not lacking in artistic masterpieces of art and architecture. It is renowned for its culinary tradition and some regard it as the food capital of Italy. We have all tried and liked tortelini, parmesano, lasagna, bolognes salse, mortadella, salami and proscuitto.

Even though often Bologna is not included in the main tourist itineraries, replaced by more popular destinations like Florence or Venice, the quality of life in Bologna is very high. The city is on a human scale, and this feature makes it pleasant and enjoyable to live, work and study.
