6Bologna – A Feast for the Season
Autumn in Bologna means comfort food, vibrant markets, and the warm glow of its terracotta streets. Known as La Grassa (“The Fat One”) for its culinary excellence, the city is a paradise for food lovers. Seasonal specialties like pumpkin tortelloni, porcini risotto, and truffle-infused pasta fill restaurant menus.
The Mercato delle Erbe buzzes with locals shopping for mushrooms and cheeses, while students fill the arcaded streets with energy. Cooler weather makes it ideal for climbing the Asinelli Tower for panoramic views over the city’s red rooftops.
