Bologna has three nicknames: la Dotta, the learned, for its university founded in 1088, the oldest still operating in the Western world; la Grassa, the fat, for its generous cooking; and la Rossa, the red, for its rooftops.
It is the home of mortadella, which carries Bologna's name around the world. Its porticoes, covered walkways stretching for dozens of kilometres through the centre, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021.
