history. Famous for its cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano,
and its ham, Prosciutto di Parma, Parma also has
beautiful cathedrals, palaces and an opera house.
Explore Bologna and discover the reasons behind
its nickname “The rich, the wise and the fat.”
Bologna’s riches come from its many important
industries, including Italy’s famous luxury cars such
as Ferrari, headquartered in nearby Maranello.
Wisdom comes from having one of Italy’s first
universities. And with its rich cuisine of Bolognese
sauce, tortellini, lasagna and cappelletti, it’s easy to
see why Bologna is also known as “the fat.”
