"I long for Bologna...where the foreigners are overwhelmed by the warm welcome they are accorded, where men of genius are invited to dinner nine days a week, where Giordani assured me I am better off than in any other city in Italy… in Bologna everything is beautiful, in both the material and moral sense… people are wasps without their stingers; and, believe me, you really do encounter goodhearted people, they are everywhere. This city has produced a breed of human beings completely different from the sort you and I are accustomed to.” (Giacomo Leopardi, poet, 1798 - 1837)
