BOLOGNA, Italy — We spent a day touring Bologna with an engaging guide, Micol Mazzeo, from Tours by Locals. Bologna is Italy’s 7th largest city and often overlooked by tourists more interested in Rome, Florence or Venice. The University of Bologna is the oldest university in Europe. Its school of anatomy was one of the first to perform autopsies and surgery.
The streets were teeming on a Saturday morning as a large fundraising event for Africa occurred in the central square. The osterias and bars were crowded midday. The food was delicious

The anatomical theater at the University of Bologna, where they performed about 4 dissections per year, in the winter months, on executed criminals. It was such a big deal that each dissection would last upward of 20 hours and be witnessed by about 200 students and faculty, The professors would comment while butchers and barbers did the cutting–all under the watchful eye of the church, which authorized it all.
