About

In the heart of Bologna, the Due Torri, or Two Towers, stand as proud sentinels over the city, a testament to medieval ambition and architectural prowess. Rising from the bustling Piazza di Porta Ravegnana, these iconic structures—Asinelli and Garisenda—are more than just landmarks; they are emblematic of Bologna's rich history and cultural tapestry. The Asinelli Tower, the taller of the two, offers those who brave its 498 steps a panoramic view of the terracotta rooftops and Emilia-Romagna's rolling hills beyond. Meanwhile, the Garisenda, with its pronounced lean, adds a charming quirkiness to the scene.
