Bologna is an easily missed city in Italy!

Bologna | Italian carnival trip with tongue and eyelids ❤️ Recently, I went to Bologna, like a dreamy Italian fairy tale world, I will share it with you ~ ✅ Must-Go Attractions: ● Maggiore Square (Piazza Maggiore): The heart of Bologna. The square is surrounded by many magnificent buildings, such as the San Baitillo Palace (Basilica di San Petronio), the Gothic architectural style is shocking, and the towering spires seem to pierce the clouds. The square often hosts various activities and performances, and enjoys the lively scene in the open-air coffee seat. You can feel the unique charm of Bologna. ● Twin Towers (Le Due Torri): Bologna landmarks. Acinellita (Torre degli Asinelli) and Garrisonda Tower (Torre Garisenda) are like loyal guardians guarding the city 🌆. You can climb the top of the Acineelli Tower along the narrow stairs, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Bologna after you climb the top. The scattered red-top houses and the streets constitute a colorful picture, and you can feel the wonderful feeling. ● Università di Bologna: One of the oldest universities in the world, exudes a strong academic atmosphere and historical heritage. Walking around the campus, the ancient teaching building and the quiet courtyard seem to be telling the glory of the past. The students who are often full of vitality on campus, and the youthful atmosphere adds color to the ancient colleges, where they can experience the blend of knowledge and history. 😋 Must taste food: ● Bologna Meat Sauce Noodles 🍜 (Tagliatelle al Rag): Bologna must taste classic cuisine. The noodle gluten is chewy, with a strong mellow meat sauce, and the meat sauce is made of pork, tomato, onion and other ingredients. The meat flavor, tomato sweet and sour and onion fragrance are perfectly integrated. Every mouthful is full of deliciousness and never tire of eating. ● Parmesan cheese 🧀 (Parmigiano-Reggiano): Italian top cheese. In Bologna, you can taste authentic Parmesan cheese, rich in taste, with strong milky aroma, unique salty aroma and nutty flavor, which can be eaten directly, or with bread, fruit, wine, etc., different combinations bring various odor experiences. ● Tiramisu 🍰 (Tiramisu): Dessert lovers should not miss it. Fluffy finger biscuits soak in coffee liquid and blend with Mascarpone cheese and cocoa powder. Take a bite down, coffee bitter, cheese rich mellow, cocoa powder light bitter taste in turn, layered, delicate silky, reminiscent. Bologna is full of charm, the beauty is lingering, and the food is unbearable. Everyone must experience this unique Italian style firsthand.

Two Towers

Over the centuries, particularly between the 12th and the 13th century, Bologna was a city full of towers. Almost all the towers were tall (the highest being 97m), defensive stone towers; the number of towers in the city was very high, possibly over 200. There are now 25 towers left without counting the hundreds of bell towers in the city. The Two Towers, “Le due torri”, both of them leaning, are the symbol of Bologna, and the most prominent of Bologna. (Until 1919, there were 5 towers in this square) The taller one is called the Asinelli while the smaller but more leaning tower is called the Garisenda. Their names derive from the families which are traditionally credited with constructing them between 1109 and 1119. The Asinelli Tower was used by the scientists Giovanni Battista Riccioli (in 1640) and Giovanni Battista Guglielmini (in the following century) for experiments to study the motion of heavy bodies and the earth rotation. In World War II, between 1943 and 1945, it was used as a sight post: during bombing attacks, four volunteers took post at the top to direct rescue operations to places hit by Allied bombs. Later, a RAI television relay was installed on top. Architect Minoru Yamasaki is thought to have been inspired by the Towers when designing the World Trade Center during the 1960s. The Garisenda Tower today has a height of 48 m with an overhang of 3.2 m. Initially it was approximately 60 m high, but had to be lowered in the 14th century due to a yielding of the ground which left it slanting and dangerous. It was cited several times by Dante in the Divine Comedy and The Rhymes (a confirmation of his stay in Bologna), and by Goethe in his Italian Journey. The Two Towers have also been the subject of an eponymous poem by Giosuè Carducci as part of the Barbarian Odes. Charles Dickens wrote about the towers in his Pictures from Italy. You can still visit and climb to the top of the Asinelli Tower. #instagramworthydestinations #urbanexplorer #unforgettableexperiences

Bologna in Italy is also one of the most interesting city I have ever been in. The city which very strong in culture offers great variety of amazing food and wine. Take a look around the original architecture design of the city and the tower in the middle of the city is also amazing. Overall, I love staying here. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
