Hotel Europa | ||
| Hotel Europa Via C. Boldrini 11 Bologna Italy | The four star Europa hotel is centrally located; few minutes walking from the historical centre and the railway station. On Piazza del Nettuno (adjacent to Piazza Maggiore) stands the Neptune Fountain (Fontana di Nettuno); which has gradually become a symbol of the city; although it was designed in 1566 by a Frenchman named Giambologna (the Italians altered his name). Viewed as irreverent by some; "indecent" by the Catholic Church; and magnificent by those with more liberal tastes; this 16th-century fountain depicts Neptune with rippling muscles; a trident in one arm; and a heavy foot on the head of a dolphin. The church forced Giambologna to manipulate Neptune's left arm to cover his monumental endowment. Giambologna's defenders denounced this as "artistic castration". Around his feet are four highly erotic cherubs; also with dolphins. At the base of the fountain; four very sensual sirens spout streams of water from their breasts. Elegant area; adiacent to the sitting/reception area. Here is served breakfast in the mornings and the same rooms can be used for meals for groups only and on request. An excellent property; only few years old; and in the heart of Bologna.A variety of meeting rooms; for 10 to 300 people and all equipped for videoconferences and simoultaneous translations; are also available.
