Centro Nova

The large shopping centre Centro Nova, renovated in 2008, is ideally located and offers 65 shops, ranging from fashion to food. The solar panels on the roof generate all the electricity.

Shopping

Italian fashion and food should be the key themes for Bologna’s visitors. There is a reason Italy is one of the main fashion nations, and browsing the windows in Galleria Cavour, just ten minutes on foot from Piazza Maggiore, will make you see why. Here you can find Armani and other main Italian brands, such as Gucci, La Perla underwear and La Maison Bulgari jewelleries. Other fashion shops are located all around the centre of Bologna, mostly in Via Farini, Via Ugo Bassi, Via Indipendenza and under the Portico del Pavaglione. For food, try Tamburini and the most famous Bolognese delicatessen. Here you can feast over an impressive variety of salted pork meat, cheese, pasta and wine. Another nice shop is Atti (bakery and fresh pasta) at Via Drapperie, 6.
