Bologna, Italy Pictures - It's all about the People in Bologna

La Dotta, La Grassa and La Rossa, the learned, the fat, and the red, have all been used to describe Bologna, which has been traditionally socialist and quite wealthy. The red is also reflected in the staunch brick works of the city buildings. And, of course, the University and its frequent social spectacles of protest add to the city's character, here a parade approaches the Piazza Maggiore along the Via del Indipendenza.
