To those who want to deepen their knowledge of this noble Bologna dynasty, whose most illustrious ancestor, scientist and alchemist Cesare Mattei, founded his own peculiar medical science - applied, among others to the Tsar of Russia and Princess Sissi of Austria - we recommend booking a visit to Rocchetta Mattei, a large monumental complex nestled in the Bologna hills.Today, the seat of the University is less than a 5-minute walk from the apartment, on Via Zamboni, where the Municipal Theatre is located, an artistic institution famous for its rich Opera season calendar. Among the citys most interesting monuments surrounding the apartment, the best known are St. Stephen's Square (with the magnificent seven churches built top of each other and the wonderful Corte Isolani) and the Asinelli Tower, which leans suggestively towering over the Garisenda Tower. The Palazzo dei Banchi arcade lends one of its sides to form the so-called Quadrilateral of the Emilia regions food and wine tradition: a true maze of pedestrian streets where visitors can find the regions best delicacies (cold meats, fresh pasta and wine). In short, a real sanctuary for gourmands. Finally, shoppers can unwind along crowded Via Indipendenza, or in the haute-couture shops of Galleria Cavour, or the elegant boutiques on Via Farini and Via d'Azeglio.In the immediate vicinity, you will find Piazza Aldrovandi, home to one of Bolognas oldest markets.
