Bologna how beautiful you are under the arcades!

Bologna is defined as the Red, the Learned, the Fat ... but above all, Bologna is the city of arcades.
Since the Middle Ages, these structures, first in wood and then in masonry, have marked the urban evolution of the city.
Present from the 11th century until today, they are a private space but open and public at the same time.
About 45km of arcades only within the city walls and about 60km in total, make Bologna the city with the most arcades in the world.
Bologna is officially the "City of Porticoes" with the nomination of UNESCO World Heritage , which arrived on July 28, 2021, directly from Fuzhou in China. The registration constitutes a new recognition by UNESCO for the city of Bologna which, in 2006, was declared the Creative City of Music .
On this tour, we will walk together to admire the most significant examples of Bolognese portico.
Where are we going to go:

Hello! I am a certified tour guide and I love to propose original itineraries to discover the city with new eyes. I was born in Cagliari, Sardinia, and there I earned my first degree in Literature with a specialization in History of Art. I moved to Bologna 15 years ago and took another degree at DAMS (Theater, Music and Multimedia Production). I love sport and wellness (I am also a personal trainer with a degree in sports science), I think the best way to face the days is to smile at life and take a nice walk! My tours are a mix of classic and unusual ranging from famous squares to lesser known but beautiful places. In the winter I work in Bologna and in the summer you find me in Cagliari. I wait for you to discover the wonders of these beautiful cities!

I will be at the fountain of Neptune, you will recognize me by the card and by a colored pinwheel
