What is your one favorite “best kept secret” about your city? Something that you and only a few others know about but everyone should? Bologna University is not only a Hogwarts-like place of study that hosts thousands of students from around the world, it’s also the oldest University in the Western world. There’s also a little baby hidden canal like in Venice that’s good for Instagram.
What makes your city, Pedro Juan Luna Jr.’s city? What do you absolutely love about it? Food. The people who grow it. The people who craft centuries old recipes with it. And the table where people gather to celebrate life. The unique culture that Bologna has compared to the rest of Italy. It’s a genuine city, with real and relatable highs and lows. White Air Force Ones are actually better dirty here.
