Bologna

The most liveable of Italy's great historic cities: forty kilometres of porticoes, Europe's oldest university, and a centre still lived in year-round rather than surrendered to tourism.

Life here

  • Porticoed streets
  • University city
  • Food capital
  • Rail hub of Italy

Ownership rationale

The centre is protected and its finest buildings are under Soprintendenza care, so supply of restored apartments in frescoed palazzi is genuinely small. Student and professional demand keeps the city occupied all year.

Getting here

Bologna Centrale puts Milan and Florence around 35 minutes away and Rome under two hours; Marconi airport is 20 minutes from the centre.
