<p>Bolonia o Boloña (en italiano: Bologna, en boloñés: Bulåggna) es una ciudad del norte de Italia, capital de la ciudad metropolitana homónima y de la región de Emilia-Romaña, situada entre los ríos Reno y Savena, cerca de los Apeninos. Es una de las ciudades históricas mejor conservadas y tiene el segundo casco antiguo medieval más grande de Europa, después del de Venecia. El comune tiene una población de 390 734 habitantes (ISTAT 2025). <br />
Fue fundada por los etruscos, con el nombre de Felsina. Posteriormente, la ciudad se convirtió en la colonia romana conocida como Bononia. Bolonia la docta: la ciudad conserva su fama de ciudad cultural desde el tiempo de los romanos (Marcial la llamó la culta Bononia), cuando era uno de los centros principales de la vía Emilia. Igualmente, se produjo ahí la famosa entrevista de Bolonia, en el 43 a. C. que resultó en la formación del Segundo Triunvirato de la República Romana, constituido por Octavio, Marco Antonio y Marco Emilio Lépido<br />

Bologna is the capital and largest city of the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy. It is the seventh most populous city in Italy, with 390,734 inhabitants and 150 different nationalities.<br />
 Its metropolitan province is home to more than 1 million people as of 2025. Bologna is most famous for being the home to the oldest university in continuous operation, the University of Bologna, established in AD 1088. <br />
The city has been an important urban center for centuries, first under the Etruscans (who called it Felsina), then under the Celts as Bona, later under the Romans (Bonōnia), then again in the Middle Ages, as a free municipality and later signoria, when it was among the largest European cities by population. Famous for its towers, churches and lengthy porticoes, Bologna has a well-preserved historical centre, thanks to a careful restoration and conservation policy which began at the end of the 1970s. In 2000, it was declared  European capital of culture and in 2006, a UNESCO &quot;City of Music&quot; and became part of the Creative Cities Network. In 2021, UNESCO recognized the lengthy porticoes of the city as a World Heritage Site.<br />
Bologna is an important agricultural, industrial, financial and transport hub, where many large mechanical, electronic and food companies have their headquarters as well as one of the largest permanent trade fairs in Europe. <br />
