Top Sights in Bologna by Lek Boonlert
A little-known destination on the international tourist trail but a favourite with domestic visitors, the magnificent city of Bologna lies in the Po Valley in northern Italy in the foothills of the Apennine peaks. An ancient city dating back over 2,000 years, Bologna is famed for its unspoiled Old City, crammed with heritage buildings and unique for its terracotta-tiled roofs and streets radiating out from central squares. Bologna is also known for its definitive and delicious cuisine, regarded as among the greatest in Italy. Its university is the oldest in the world and its plethora of museums relate the city's long history and unique culture.
Visitors staying in Bologna City Centre hotels could spend week wandering around its grand boulevards and hidden alleyways, but for those with limited time and a dislike of guided tours, there's much to be seen with a carefully self-planned itinerary. The major sights are centred in the ancient quarter, much of which is pedestrianised, thus making walking tours comfortable. Perhaps the most famous landmarks in the city are Le Due Torre, the two leaning towers of Garisenda and Asinelli, set in the Piazza Maggiore and looming over the city at 48m and 97m respectively. Built in the 12th century by order of two leading families, they were the most spectacular of around 100, with less than 20 now remaining. Climbing Torre degli Asinelli's 498 rickety wooden staircase gives a breathtaking views over the massed terracotta roofs of the historic quarter.
Also on Piazza Maggiore is the massive Basilica di San Petronio, begun in 1390. By the16th century, its architectural blueprints had expanded to dwarf Rome's St Peters, at which time the then Pope forbade further building. The jagged edges of its unfinished frontage seem charming nowadays, and its sheer size is impressive, as are the 15th century frescos ornamenting its interior. One such depicts Mohammed in hell, being devoured by demons, as was the cause of an unsuccessful attempt in 2006 by Islamic terrorists to destroy the building.
Il Santuario di San Luca, the 18th century church of the Sanctuary of St Luke, is set to the southwest of the old quarter on a hill, and boasts the planet's longest continuous portico. The amazing arched, covered portico with its 666 arches runs for four kilometres from the church, connecting it with the old city. The climb to the hilltop is exhausting, but the reward of glorious views of the surrounding countryside enjoyed in peace and quiet is well worth the effort.
The Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna on Via Bel Arti is famous for its superb collection of artworks dating from the early years of the Italian Renaissance through to the heights of its innovative influence on world art. It's a medium-sized gallery, not large enough to overwhelm but with plenty of space for its exhibitions. Represented are the greats of the 14th century Bologna school, with more than a nod to later artistic geniuses such as Rafael and Guido Reni. Another fascinating museum is the Archaeological Museum in Piazza Maggiore, displaying artefacts from as early as prehistory as well as objects from the city's Roman beginnings.
The Piazza Santa Stefano contains a fascinating grouping of four linked Romanesque churches, with the oldest, Saints Vitale e Agricola, containing stonework and columns from Roman temples. The pretty courtyard with its maze of tiny chapels is a good spot for relaxing. Another prominent Bologna landmark, considered the symbol of the city, is the 16th century Fountain of Neptune, set in Piazza del Nettuno and depicting the bronze sea god on a marble plinth surrounded by water nymphs. The brainchild of Tommaso Laurenti, its later embellishment was by famous Renaissance sculptor Giambologna.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Do muffler do anything aside from reducing noise?
My friend and I were messing around with my 2001 Corolla. Its so basic, all the parts are stock, it has manual transmission and even manual windows. So my friend wanted it to sound better. All he did was unscrew the muffler, he didn't even take it down it was just hanging there so that the exhaust pipe was clear.
I turned the car on and it sounded badass. I took around the block and aside from sounding awesome, I could almost swear it was faster and stronger.
He hooked the muffler back on its and its the same lame purr as before, but I'm wondering does all a muffler do is make the engine exhaust quieter and possibly drain power?
Answer:
u r correct: BUT driving with an open exhaust can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and also get u tickets. u need a performance exhaust tho i would not waste the $ on a corolla
