Hi, I'm Mike, your adventurous local host in Bologna! I'm passionate about this city's rich history, from its ancient roots as Felsina to its significant role during WWII. What truly excites me is uncovering the hidden stories that Bologna holds, both pre-and post-war. I love indulging in the traditional foods that make this city a culinary paradise, and you'll often find me in local Osterias, savoring the flavors and chatting with the Bolognese. In the summer, I can't resist heading to Piazza Maggiore to enjoy a movie under the stars. I know the Santo Stefano and San Mamolo neighborhoods like the back of my hand, and I'm thrilled to share all the fascinating tales and delectable dishes Bologna has to offer. Let's explore the city's secrets together! Looking forward to our adventure!
