No one like Bologna manages to be hyper-contemporary while keeping faith with its history: the city with the oldest university in the western world is also one of the capitals of the undergound culture trends, art, music of the great Italian songwriters. A city cultured and free, elegant and never conventional, goliardic and not vulgar, small and yet so full of history and stories that even if you think you really know her, in reality you are (perhaps) only halfway.
Now comes a new book to help us not to lose the best: 111 things about Bologna that you really have to discover (Emons Edizioni), written by Bellucci quote, writer and journalist (also collaborates with VanityFair.it and curates the blog ditantomondo.com), from Modena but a great passionate and profound connoisseur of the city.
