| Medieval towers, one with a dodgy foundation |
Founded by the Etruscans (though built upon an older settlement), and bombed as a German supply depot during the war, Bologne also has distinctive towers from the medieval period. As a prelude to Ferrari museums which would follow the next day, it also has, quite remarkably amazing 'food', which defies description! (sooo good).

| The boys used to love a night out in Bologna in the 12th century |
 |
| The main Piazza |
 |
| The statue of Neptune in the town square...uhhh, from behind. |
 |
| Superb architecture, populated with shops which actually fit in well with the 'aesthetic'. |
 |
| Opened in 2001 next to Piazza Maggiore square, the Salla Borsa Library and Palazzo d'Accursio, the historic seat of the city’s government, in one of renaissance buildings. |
 |
| Superbly evocative architecture - very clean with zero f**kwits |
|
| The two medieval towers that remain |
 |
| So the church was for sale...turning into a pub seemed like a good idea?!? |
 |
| The architect would be proud... |
In the next episode, there may be cars...
