 LOCATION                                                         
 Bologna (Italy) is the capital city of Emilia-Romagna and houses 
 over 400,000 inhabitants. Situated on the South-Eastern side of  
 the Po Valley on the foothills of the Apennines, it is only one  
 hour by train from Florence and two hours by train from Venice.  
 The international airport is approximately 15 minutes (3 miles)  
 from the hotel by car or taxi.                                   
 Few European cities show such a contrast between picturesque     
 medieval times and busy modern commercial life as vividly as     
 Bologna. Characterised by long porticoes, mediaeval towers, XIII 
 - XVII century palaces, monumental churches and the warm red     
 colour of the brick buildings, this is interspersed with old     
 arcade streets lined with busy shops, modern theatres and office 
 buildings.
