The British Side of Bologna

From Comune di Bologna

Attracted by the antique charm, the English have come to Italy since the crusades. Bologna, a university and music town, continued to have visitors even during the XVIth century, after the split between the Catholic and the Anglican church. In the XVIIIth and XIXth century every middle-class gentleman travelling throughout Italy is fascinated by the artistic and natural beauties and by the cuisine of the city.
