A to the L
Bologna was founded by the Etruscans with the name Felsina (ca. 534
BC) in an area previously long inhabited by the villanovians, a people
of farmers and shepherds. The Etruscan city grew around a sanctuary
built on a hill, and was surrounded by a necropolis. In the 4th
century BC the city was conquered by the Gauls Boii, whence the
ancient name Bononia of the Roman colony (c. 189 BC) created after the
conquest in 191 BC. The settlers included 3,000 Latin families led by
the consuls Lucius Valerius Flaccus, Marcus Atilius Seranus and Lucius
Valerius Tappo. The building of the Via Aemilia in 187 BC made Bologna
a road hub, connected to Arezzo through the Via Flaminia minor and to
Aquileia through the Via Aemilia Altinate.
In 88 BC the city became a municipium: it had a rectilinear street
plan with six cardi and eight decumani (intersecting streets) which
are still active today. During the Roman Empire it had 10,000
inhabitants with various temples, baths, theatre and one arena.
Pomponius Mela included Bononia among the five opulentissimae
("richest") cities of Italy. The city was rebuilt by Nero after a
fire.
Location of Bologna within Italy.
The centre of the cityAfter a long decline, Bologna was reborn in the
5th century AD under the bishop Petronius, who traditionally built the
church of S. Stefano. After the fall of Rome, Bologna was a frontier
stronghold of the Exarchate of Ravenna in the Pianura Padana, and was
defended by a line of walls which however did not enclose most of the
ancient ruined Roman city. In 728 the city was conquered by the
Lombard king Liutprand, becoming part of the Lombard Kingdom. The
German newcomers formed a district called "addizione longobarda" near
the complex of S. Stefano, where Charlemagne stayed in 786.
In the 11th century Bologna began to grow again as a free Commune,
joining the Lombard League against Frederick Barbarossa in 1164. In
1088 the Studio was founded, now the oldest university of Europe,
which could boast notable scholars of the Middle Ages like Irnerius,
and, amongst its students, Dante, Boccaccio and Petrarca. In the 12th
century the expanding city needed a new line of walls, and another was
completed in the 14th century.
In 1256 Bologna promulgated the Legge del Paradiso ("Paradise's Law"),
which abolished feudal serfdom and freed the slaves using public
money. At that time the city centre was full of towers built by the
leading families, of notable public edifices, churches and abbeys. In
1294 Bologna was one of the ten most populous cities of Europe.
Like most Italian communes of that age, Bologna was torn by internal
struggles, which lead to the expulsion of the Ghibelline family of
Lambertazzi in 1274. After being crushed in the Battle of Zappolino by
the Modenese in 1325, Bologna began to decay and asked the protection
of the Pope at the beginning of the 14th century.
After the happy years of the rule of Taddeo Pepoli (1337-1347),
Bologna fell to the Visconti of Milan, but returned to the Papal orbit
with Cardinal Gil de Albornoz in 1360. The following years saw an
alternation of Republican governments (like that of 1377, which built
the Basilica di San Petronio and the Loggia dei Mercanti) and Papal or
Visconti restorations, while the city's families engaged in continual
internecine fighting. In the middle of the 15th century the
Bentivoglio family gained the rule of Bologna, reigning with Sante
(1445-1462) and Giovanni II (1462-1506). This period was a flourishing
one for the city, with the presence of notable architects and painters
who made Bologna a true Italian Rinascimento city.
Giovanni's reign ended in 1506 when the Papal troops of Julius II
besieged Bologna and sacked the artistic treasures of his palace. From
that point on, until the XVIII century, Bologna was part of the Papal
States, ruled by a cardinal legato and by a Senate which every two
months elected a gonfaloniere (judge), assisted by eight elder
consuls. The city's prosperity continued, although a plague at the end
of the 16th century reduced the population from 72,000 to 59,000, and
another in 1630 to 47,000. The population later recovered to a stable
60,000-65,000. In 1564 the Piazza del Nettuno and the Palazzo dei
Banchi were built, along with the Archiginnasio, the seat of the
University. The period of Papal rule saw the construction of many
churches and other religious establishments, and the renovation of
older ones. The 96 convents of Bologna are a record for Italy. Artists
working in this age in Bologna established the Bolognese School that
includes Annibale Carracci, Domenichino, Guercino and others of
European fame.
With the rise of Napoleon Bologna became the capital of the Repubblica
Cispadana and, later, the second most important centre after Milan of
the Repubblica Cisalpina and the Italian Kingdom. After the fall of
Napoleon, Bologna suffered the Papal restoration, rebelling in 1831
and again 1849, when it temporarily expelled the Austrian garrisons
which commanded the city until 1860. After a visit by Pope Pius IX in
1857, the city voted for annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia on June
12, 1859, becoming part of the united Italy.
In the new political situation Bologna gained importance for its
cultural role and became an important commercial, industrial and
communications hub; its population began to grow again and at the
beginning of the 20th century the old walls were destroyed in order to
build new houses for the population.
Though damaged during the closing battles of World War II, Bologna
soon recovered and is now one of the richest, most civil and
well-planned cities of Italy.
Culture
Over the centuries, Bologna has acquired many nicknames: "Bologna the
learned" (Bologna la dotta) is a reference to its famous university;
"Bologna the fat" (Bologna la grassa) refers to its cuisine.
Bologna is also called "Bologna the red" (Bologna la Rossa) not only
for its political leanings but also due to its abundance of red brick
and marble buildings.
"Bologna the red" has also been said to refer to the city's
left-leaning politics. Until the election of a centre-right mayor in
1999, the city was a historic bastion of socialism and communism. The
centre-left gained power again in the 2004 mayoral elections, with the
election of Sergio Cofferati. It was one of the first European
settlements to experiment with the concept of "free" public transport.
Another nickname for Bologna is Basket City, referring to Bologna's
obsession with basketball, unusual for football-dominated Italy. The
local derby between the city's two principal basketball clubs,
Fortitudo and Virtus (often called after the clubs' principal
sponsors), is one of the most intense in the entire world of sports.
Violence, however, has been largely absent in the derby.
Football is still a hugely popular sport in Bologna; the main local
club is Bologna F.C. 1909, which was relegated to Serie B at the end
of the 2004/2005 season.
Main sights
This section is a stub. You can help by adding to it.
Torre degli Asinelli.
Piazza Nettuno, and behind Piazza Maggiore, Italy.
Portico.Until the late 19th century, when a large-scale urban
reconstruction project was undertaken, Bologna remained one of the
best preserved Mediaeval cities in Europe, though to this day it
remains unique in its historic value.
Despite having suffered from considerable bombing damage in 1944,
Bologna's historic centre, one of Europe's largest, contains a wealth
of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque artistic monuments of primary
importance.
Bologna developed as an Etruscan, then Roman colony along the Via
Emilia, the street that still runs straight through the city under the
changing names of Strada Maggiore, Rizzoli, Ugo Bassi, and San Felice.
Due to its Roman heritage, the most central streets of Bologna, today
largely pedestrianized, follow the grid pattern of the Roman
settlement.
The original Roman ramparts were supplanted by a high medieval system
of fortifications, remains of which are still visible, and finally by
a third and final set of ramparts built in the 13th century, of which
numerous sections survive. Over twenty medieval defensive towers, some
of them leaning precariously, remain from the over two hundred that
were constructed in the era preceding the security guaranteed by
unified civic government.
Bologna is home to numerous important churches. An incomplete list
include:
Santo Stefano
San Domenico
San Francesco
Santa Maria dei Servi
San Giacomo Maggiore
The cityscape is further enriched by elegant and extensive arcades (or
porticos), for which the city is famous. In total, there are over 37
kilometres of arcades in the city, which make it possible to walk for
long distances sheltered from rain, snow, or hot summer sun.
Transport
Bologna is home to Guglielmo Marconi International Airport, expanded
in 2004 by extending the runway to accommodate larger aircrafts.
Bologna Central Station is considered the most important train hub in
Northern Italy thanks to the city's strategic location. Bologna's
station is a milestone in Italian public consciousness for the huge
terrorist bomb attack that killed 85 victims in August 1980. The
attack is also known in Italy as the Strage di Bologna, the Bologna
massacre. It is widely believed the bomb was planted by neo-fascist
activists - possibly to stir public opinion against Italian
communists.
Demographics
94.3% of the population is of Italian origin. The remaining 5.7%
consists mostly of Moroccans, Chinese, Albanians, Romanians,
Ukrainians, and Filipinos.
Cuisine
Bologna is renowned for its culinary tradition and it is regarded by
some as the food capital of Italy. Situated in the fertile Po River
Valley, the rich local cuisine depends heavily on meats and cheeses.
As in all of Emilia-Romagna, the production of cured pork meats such
as prosciutto, mortadella and salame is an important part of the local
food industry. Well-regarded nearby vineyards include Pignoletto dei
Colli Bolognesi, Lambrusco di Modena and Sangiovese di Romagna.
Tagliatelle al ragů, tortellini served in broth and mortadella (the
original Bologna sausage) are among the local specialties.
The University
The University of Bologna, founded in 1088, is the oldest existing
university in Europe, and was an important centre of European
intellectual life during the Middle Ages, attracting scholars from
throughout Christendom. A unique heritage of medieval art, exemplified
by the illuminated manuscripts and jurists' tombs produced in the city
from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, provide a cultural
backdrop to the renown of the medieval institution. The Studium, as it
was originally known, began as a loosely organized teaching system
with each master collecting fees from students on an individual basis.
The location of the early University was thus spread throughout the
city, with various colleges being founded to support students of a
specific nationality.
In the Napoleonic era, the headquarters of the university were moved
to their present location on Via Zamboni (formerly Via San Donato), in
the north-eastern sector of the city centre. Today, the University's
23 faculties, 68 departments, and 93 libraries are spread across the
city and include four subsidiary campuses in nearby Cesena, Forlě,
Ravenna, and Rimini. Noteworthy students present at the university in
centuries past included Dante, Petrarch, Thomas Becket, Pope Nicholas
V, Erasmus of Rotterdam, and Copernicus. In more recent history, Luigi
Galvani, the discoverer of biological electricity, and Guglielmo
Marconi, the pioneer of radio technology, also worked at the
University. The University of Bologna remains one of the most
respected and dynamic post-secondary educational institutions in
Italy. To this day, Bologna is still very much a university town, and
the city's population swells from 400,000 to nearly 500,000 whenever
classes are in session. This community includes a great number of
Erasmus, Socrates, and overseas students. Several American Colleges
and Universities, such as Brown University, the University of
California and Dickinson College, sponsor exchange programs. There is
also a consortium of several universities, the Bologna Cooperative
Studies Program, that is headed by Indiana University. In addition the
Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies
maintains a permanent campus in the city.
Nowadays, University of Bologna control 23 faculties: Agricultural
sciences; Industrial Chemistry; Economic Sciences; Pharmacy; Law;
Engineering; Literature and philosophy; Foreign languages and
literatures; Medicine and surgery; Veterinary medicine; Sciences of
education; Mathematics, physics and natural sciences; Sciences of
physical education; Sciences of policy; Statistics. Only in Cesena:
Architecture; Psychology. Only in Ravenna: Conservation of cultural
heritage.

Thanks, that was just what I was wondering... I saw some pictures of

Or they'll call another election.
It seems like the only 2 things the Italian system is really effective at is
having elections and having unstable coalition governments.

I just saw Prodi adressing the press on TV saying that it's funny
Berlusconi doesn't trust the election results. After all, he controls it
all. The police, the ministry of the interior, etc.
And apparently lots of other state leaders have already congratulated
Prodi on his victory... :)

That's cos they have so much more experience in it. I think in terms of
dissolved parliaments and re-elections, only Bolivia can hang with Italy.

Which makes the result a little interesting, other than it seeming likely
that another election will be called pretty soon.
Berlusconi will get to the other party(ies) in the coalition in some way.

From what I remember it's only a post-war thing in Italy though isn't it? Or
maybe that was just the period we focused on...
Either way it's not surprising there's pretty prominant extremism (or that's
