I portici
An evening passeggiata in Bologna
Did you know?
Bologna has around forty kilometres of portici — covered walkways held up by arches — so you can cross much of the old city without ever getting wet.
They were built centuries ago so houses could grow outwards over the street. Today they are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Bologna is the capital of Emilia-Romagna — Adam's region — and the home of tortellini, ragù and mortadella.
Bologna is my nearest big city, and you can walk across it in the rain without an umbrella — forty kilometres of arcades hold a roof over your head.
Adam is from Emilia-Romagna — visit his home region.
