"It is important to be aware of cultural norms when visiting Bologna. It is considered rude to be late for appointments or social engagements, so it is important to be punctual. It is also important to dress appropriately for the occasion, as dressing too casually or too formally can be seen as disrespectful. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local customs when it comes to dining etiquette, such as not speaking loudly or using your hands to eat. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local culture and to avoid making any negative comments about the city or its people," remarked another expat who made the move to Bologna, Italy.
