Bologna is known as the red, the learned and the fat. But have you ever thought about “Bologna the green”?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The capital of Emilia-Romagna is undoubtedly a city of art par excellence, and visitors can choose from many different perspectives to explore the area, from culture to gastronomy. But the historic centre of the city<\/strong>, which is considered one of the largest and best preserved in Italy, hides many green corners<\/strong>, both inside the courtyards of historic buildings, and within the city walls, in the form of parks and gardens.
\nNot only is the historic centre rich in green spaces, but Bologna is a city that has “the hills at its doorstep”<\/strong>, as Dino Campana wrote.<\/p>\n

The hills close to the city<\/strong>, just a 15-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore, are a constellation of parks, meadows, woods, villas and cultivated areas. A natural and semi-natural landscape, protected at a regional level, which extends from the gentle slopes to the south and east of the city to the green plains to the north.<\/p>\n
