Bologna, a city of many faces in Italy, is often overlooked.

Built in the 5th century BC, Bologna is an ancient Italian city. For a long time, it was considered a stepping stone to Florence and Venice, and was not well known. However, Bologna is actually one of Italy's hidden gems. It took me more than 3 hours to get to this city of many faces from Trieste by Trenitalia. When I entered the old town centered around Piazza Maggiore, I was not disappointed. The Italian ancestors left their descendants with a treasure trove of heritage that is truly fascinating. Piazza Maggiore was built in 1200 AD. It is rectangular in shape and surrounded by several important medieval buildings, including the famous Basilica di San Petronio, the Neptune Fountain, which is considered a city landmark, and the iconic Two Towers. In the summer, classic Italian movies are shown every night in the square, providing a great place for locals and tourists to relax.
