The zdaura Onorina Pirazzoli strolls once again about Bologna's past, organising a guided tour to discover the secrets of the Montagnola Park. It's the first garden by the entering gates to town, which grew up in 700 years, swelling like the city's stomach. It's always been disputed by different local and foreign powers; however, it's always come back to the people, thanks to incredible revolts or even to simple indifference. Onorina guides us through the Park up to the undergrounds of the previous ice-house in the "I Portici Hotel", an exclusive route, not usually allowed to visitors, which ends inside the suggestive recently restored theatre, where the famous actor Ettore Petrolini once held his performances.
