Bologna: Ospedale Maggiore Carlo Alberto Pizzardi
Bologna straddles the transition from the Po Plain to the northern Apennines in Emilia-Romagna, a setting that long placed it on routes between northern Italy and the peninsula. Ospedale Maggiore Carlo Alberto Pizzardi occupies the city’s western urban districts, amid the apartment blocks, local streets and tiled roofs characteristic of this part of Bologna. It is one of the city’s principal hospital sites and bears the name of Carlo Alberto Pizzardi. Bologna is also defined by its extensive porticoes, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2021, and by the University of Bologna, traditionally dated to 1088. The Reno River runs west of the city, while the Apennine foothills begin to the south.

Emilia-Romagna occupies a broad stretch of the Po Valley and northern Apennines in Italy. From the agricultural plains around Modena and Bologna, the region extends northeast towards the Adriatic, where the wetlands of the Po Delta meet the sea. Wooded Apennine ridges give its southern districts a contrasting terrain. Bologna is home to one of the world’s oldest universities, founded in 1088, while Modena is closely linked with traditional balsamic vinegar. Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma are further markers of a food culture known well beyond Italy. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Emilia-Romagna.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
