Bologna, Italy Summary

photo by gusto

Emilia’s capital, BOLOGNA, is a thriving city, whose light engineering and hi-tech industries have brought conspicuous wealth to the old brick palaces and porticoed streets and squares. Previously, it was best known for its food – undeniably the richest in the country – and for its politics. “Red Bologna” became the Italian Left’s stronghold and spiritual home, having evolved out of the resistance movement to German occupation during World War II. Consequently, Bologna’s train station was singled out by fascist groups in 1980 for a bomb attack in Italy’s worst postwar terrorist atrocity. A glassed-in jagged gash in the station wall commemorates the tragedy in which 84 people died.
