Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Bologna, Italy

The birthplace of tortellini, mortadella and a meat ragù you might just have heard of, Bologna (nicknamed La Grossa, or The Fat) teems with storied trattorias, old-world bakeries and bustling farmers’ markets – come with an empty stomach and an even emptier suitcase. Feasting complete, brush up on your Bolognese history (and combat the post-pasta coma) with a portico-shaded stroll taking in mediaeval piazze, Renaissance palazzi and the oldest university in the world – oh, and not one but two totemic leaning towers. Pisa who?
