My town The town where I was born and where I still live is Bologna. This is the Emilia Romagna county seat. It's a small city with about 500 thousand people that live there. It's famous in Italy for the food, in particular for tortellini, lasagne, ragù and mortadella, and for the ancient towers, that in the medieval period were almost two hundred, but now are less than ten (the most famous and biggest are Asinelli and Garisenda's towers). Another trait about Bologna are the arcade (portici): this city has the higher number of arcade in the word, approximately 45KM. There is a beautiful old town center where you can pass through by walk or by bicycle (only trams and few cars can cross the center) and where you can go for an aperitivo. A curiosity: some friends told me that somewhere abroad (like in the USA) there is a plate called: "pasta alla bolognese". The strange thing is that in Bologna doesn't exist "Pasta alla bolognese"! I think that could be pasta with ragu'.
