The city
Bologna is an important agricultural, industrial, financial and transport hub, where many large mechanical, electronic and food companies have their headquarters. To underline its importance in Italy, it also has one of the largest permanent trade fairs in Europe. Bologna has a rich cultural environment. The breadth of what the city offers to residents can be understood through its various nicknames: "the fat" (la grassa) refers to its outstanding cuisine: "the red" (la rossa), which was originally used as a reference to the color of the buildings in the city center, has later become connected with the political leadership of the city - it was one of the first European cities to experiment with the concept of free public transport; "the towered" (la turrita) refers to the high number of medieval towers that can be found in the city; and most relevant to ISB, as a place of international learning, "the learned" (la dotta) - Bologna's university is considered the oldest university in the western world. Bologna is also one of the wealthiest cities in Italy, often ranking as one of the top cities in terms of quality of life in the country; in 2020, it ranked 1st out of 107 Italian provinces.
