Have been to Italy once and my favorite cities are Florence and Vennice.
Florence, one of the top 10 citites that has the best for people living in the world and the hometown of the most famous artist Leonardo da Vinci. This is the city full of culture, story and romance.

Venice, city of water. The whole city is floating on the water and the people there are living a tranquil life. This city is also full of bright colors: blue water, white bridges, black Gondola, gold venician mask, yellow house and green plants…… you can just watch time flying by drinking a cup of coffee along the river bank. What a wonderful day!

However, the topic today is another city in northern Italy named Bologna. It’s the hometown to the oldest university in the Western world, "University of Bologna", founded in 1088, Bologna is one of the most developed cities in Italy. Bologna often ranks as one of the top cities, in terms of quality of life in Italy: it was ranked 5th in 2006, and 12th in 2007, out of 103 Italian cities.This is due to its strong industrial tradition, its wide range of highly-developed social services, and its physical location at the crossing-point of the most important highways and railways in the country.
Bologna is also renowned for its culinary tradition. It has given its name to the well-known Bolognese sauce, a meat based pasta sauce called in Italy.
Bologna is also known as “Basket City”, referring to Bologna’s obsession with basketball, which is somewhat unusual in football-dominated Italy.
I have made Bologna in the list of my next trip, what about you? :)
