An unusual and amusing visit-show. At the head of our "historical-cultural expedition" along the porticoes there is Mrs. Onorina Pirazzoli, a character, who represents in some ways the Living Historical Memory of the city. Being sometimes leathery and even a bit odd, she manages to attract the attention of heterogenous spectators, inclusive children, narrating them particular and unknown stories about Bologna. A professional guide is always in the nearby to support her.
Onorina leads her audience through the narrow downtown streets, under the
porticoes, she actually considers as her own sitting-room, telling stories about events, which took place in the shade of the two leaning towers and even before their own construction.
It's quite easy to follow her in the old Jewish Ghetto area, a maze of tiny streets and passages, still revealing of a rich past full of present suggestions.The tour ends in a usually inaccessible place for both citizens and tourists, that is inside a hidden medieval tower in the middle of the city: the Tower of the Pearls.
