Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
The University of Bologna is the oldest university in Europe and named after its home city of Bologna. This city is also the home of a well-known Romeo and Juliet type love affair between two teens who fell in love, although their families forbade it. The story is a sad and fatal one, much like the Shakespearean play, but visitors who love a good love story come from all over the world to visit Bologna. There are also many historic archaeological sites such as the first century Teatro Romano, and the ancient town of Marzabotto, among others.
Most visitors travel the hour and a half from Florence to Bologna to visit the museums and architecture of the city. Bologna is home to more than 50 museums, including the National Gallery, The Civic Archaeology Museum, The Medieval Museum, and the Municipal Art Collections, to name a few.
