About Bologna and Ravenna
Ravenna was the final resting place for Dante Alighieri, who completed his Divine Comedy here. This is also where the history of the Western Roman Empire ended. Among the narrow streets of the ancient city 8 monuments protected by UNESCO are lost. Strict and discreet facades of ancient churches hide unique Byzantine mosaics, which have carried the idea of primordial Christianity through the centuries.
Bolonia is the capital of the Emilia Romagna region. It is called the learned, red and well-fed capital. The Alma Mater Studiorum, Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088, is still in operation today. Red – to signify that all brick, draperies and tile roofs are red in color. Nourished for the world-famous Bolognese pasta and the local cuisine of the region.
