This city's three nicknames sum up Bologna perfectly. La Grassa (the fat one) refers to its world-famous food scene - known for being among the best around, La Rossa (the red one) is a reference to the way it looks, and La Dotta (the learned one) is a nod to the esteemed university which was founded in 1088.
Check out the medieval history and amazing street art, and for the best views in the city climb the 498 steps to the top of the Torre degli Asinelli which sits more than two metres off vertical, and is the tallest leaning medieval tower on the planet. Its twin, the 47-metre high Torre Garisenda, tilts more than three metres.
