Bologna offers a chance to rest and savor before joining the masses of tourists in Florence and Venice. Surrounded by hills, the city's center is still much as it was during the Renaissance: dusky red-colored buildings, wide piazzas and arched porticoes with floors laid with marble.
Today, 'Red Bologna' is no longer as red as it once was, although it's still quite pink. It's a center for Italy's high-tech industries and regularly plays host to trade fairs. The university is still a source of agitation, although less so than in the protest heyday of the 1970s.
When Bologna was named European City of Culture in 2000, vast sums of money were spent on developments geared mainly at young people, including new arts facilities, a museum of Jewish culture, and an extensive new library in the former stock exchange.
