Strada Maggiore is the ancient roman road going from Rimini to Piacenza and crossing all over the region Emilia-Romagna. This road cuts the very center of the ancient city of "Bononia" (or "Felsina" as it was called during the Etruscan age). The palace is inside the ancient city walls just in front of the beautiful Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi. Piazza Maggiore and all the historical center is just a few minutes walk away. and of course the kaleidoscopic mix of places where to eat that makes Bologna (also called "the Fat") so famous in Italy and the world for its food.
