 Parma and Bologna tour
BOLOGNA is the capital of the region: to use the well-known formula; "la dotta, la grassa, la rossa" (the learned, the fat the red.) Learned for its university, probably the oldest in Europe; fat for its gastronomy and its money; red for its brickwork and socialist politics.
As opposed to Florence, Venice and Naples, which were always the seats of the aristocracy, Bologna is the city of the bourgeoisie - the middle class.
Whilst the university was willing to work for the emperor, the town's allegiance was to the popes, and in 1249 Bologna defeated the army of Emperor Frederick II at the battle of Fossalta and captured Frederick's natural son, Enzo.

The greatest political massacre in Europe, between Hitler's surrender in May 1945, and the battle of Sarajevo 50 years later, took place in the Italian city of Bologna on August 2nd, 1980.
A great deal of mystery surrounds the event; however it is a fact that two people have been sentenced for the crime, the Bonny-and-Clyde couple of Valerio Fioravanti and Francesca Mambro, at the time militants of a neo-Nazi terrorist group called "Armed Revolutionary Nuclei" (NAR).
The Fascist political area in Italy has cast several doubts on the fairness of the trial against Fioravanti and Mambro, as far as the bomb outrage in Bologna is concerned: the couple has always claimed to be innocent, and evidence is not always up to standard.
