In the Middle Ages, Italian city-states demolished colonnades one after another, while Bologna did the opposite, stipulating that private buildings should be converted into colonnades, so that people could keep out the cold in winter and prevent the sun from exposure in summer, and people could work under colonnades with sufficient light, or have tea and chat in their leisure time. For hundreds of years, colonnade has long been an indispensable part of Bologna people's life. It is because of the sunshine that the porch will become extremely beautiful. The light shines brightly on the corner of the gate through the colonnade, and the tiles, reliefs and marble doorframes look exquisite in the sun.
2. Daily life
In Bologna, as long as there is a station, people will get together to "gossip". When we meet, we have a warm hug first, and then there is the kind of "chicken pecking" gossip, ranging from 15 minutes to two or three hours. There are more topics and time here than in any corner of Italy. Whether it is football, politics, society, people's livelihood, private diaries of men and women, Bologna seems to be the best place to create "gossip".
The tourist center in Bologna is around Nettuno and Maggiore Square. Maggiore Square is the Poseidon Fountain in the old city, which belongs to the place where Bologna people live and is also the distribution center of urban culture and art. Whenever the sun shines, the square is always crowded with Bologna residents; Old people gossip, young people talk about their ambitions and get to know each other. The whole environment and atmosphere exudes a sense of leisure and tranquility like a small town. However, the surrounding buildings also exude a strong sense of art left over from the Renaissance.
Step 3 prescribe diet
From time to time, there are various restaurants and coffee shops on Bologna Road or beside the square. The local diners are very slow, and after a bite or two, they will be interrupted by smoking, drinking red wine and chatting. Italians call Bologna "the city of obesity" because the food here is recognized as the most delicious and authentic in Italy. The representative food of Italy, spaghetti with meat sauce, is called "Bologna macaroni" in Italian.
Step 4 cook
There are many famous traditional dishes in Bologna, and the well-known ketchup originated from the local area. Located in the fertile Po River valley, Bologna is rich in delicious food, most of which depends on local meat and cheese.

The nearby vineyards have also received widespread attention. Italian lasagna, Italian jiaozi and original Bologna sausage are all local specialties.
