Bologna
The birthplace of the dish the rest of the world calls by the wrong name, porticoes covering forty kilometres of pavement so rain is barely a factor, and a university old enough to have taught most of medieval Europe.
The best time to visit Bologna is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 20°C (69°F). Local time there is 08:02 (UTC+2).
