Piazza Maggiore is located in the center of Bologna. It was built in 1200. To the north of the square are two medieval palaces built in the early 13th century, and to the south is the Cathedral of San Petronio, which was built in 1390 AD and has not yet been completed. In the center of the square is an open-air cinema, where movies are shown every night (with commercials inserted at the same time). Bologna is my favorite Italian city. The buildings are simple and elegant, clean and tidy. There is the University of Bologna, the first university in Europe. Bologna is a wealthy city, and famous car brands such as Ferrari and Maserati were born here.
