4Bologna – The Academic Heart of the Arts

Home to Europe’s oldest university, Bologna is a city that celebrates knowledge, creativity, and experimentation. Its artistic soul shines through medieval towers, Renaissance palaces, and miles of porticoes. 

The Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna features works by Giotto, Raphael, and the Carracci family—painters who transformed Baroque art. Street art also thrives here, giving Bologna a youthful and dynamic cultural edge. After visiting museums, explore the Archiginnasio Palace and the San Petronio Basilica, where historical frescoes reveal centuries of artistic devotion.
