Favorite thing: This is one of the typical porticos of Bologna, which have a total length of 36 Km.
Originally, the porticos were made of wood which later on had been replaced with brick.
Palazzo Isolani and Palazzo Grassi are typical existing examples of building that underwent enlargement.
Fondest memory: People began to build the characteristic Portici partly because the town was often devastated by wars and fights, so that being not able to live outside the walls, they would rather expand their houses, and partly because porticos would protect them from rain, snow and sun.

Favorite thing: This gallery features traditional art, on sale are paintings and prints by native son Morandi; Italian modern master De Chirico; and foreigners Chagall and Magritte. This is a great place to go if you're looking to buy some excellent works of art.
