We made it to the capital city of Emilia-Romagna - Bologna.The city has the oldest University in Europe. Dante, Erasmus, Petrach, Thomas a Becket, Copernicus and Laura Bassi (scientist, first female appointed to university chair in Europe, 1711 – 1788) are some of the illustrious alumni of Bologna University.
After all of this academic overload, we needed some food to feed the brains (and feet). So as we were in Bologna we had to have a traditional tagliatelle al ragù (they don't call it spaghetti bolognese here!). Being a vegetarian, I had a lovely non-meat version - and gorgeous it was too!
Full up on food, we made it a bit futher and decided to stay the night at San Benedetto Val di Sambro.
143 miles down, 40 miles to the heart of Tuscany - Firenze.
