Bologna​

Capital of the northern region of Emilia-Romagna, the city of Bologna is synonymous with great cuisine. 

Some of the world's favourite dishes emanate from here including Lasagne and Tortellini, but curiously enough, not Spaghetti Bolognese which has always been on a foreign take on Bologna's Tagliatelle al Ragù.

Beside the culinary delights, sights include the Two Towers which look down on to the Basilica di San Petronio on Piazza Maggiore.
