Situated in the Po Valley area, Bologna was one of the most important Etruscan cities with the name of Felsina, which was changed into Bononia when it passed under the Romans in the third century B.C. It retained its prestige under the Roman Empire, though experiencing a certain decline with its end. A new era of prosperity began in the eleventh century, at which time the University (the Studium) was founded. The city of Bologna is unique for the consistency of its urban structure. Even the most beautiful Renaissance and Baroque palaces are part of the medieval city plan. 38 kilometres of colonnades mark the structure of the city within the ancient walls.
