Bologna Esoterica e Occulta

[Paul Ferguson]

"Bologna is a unique city that harbours countless secrets and mysteries. It is not always easy to penetrate this shadowy realm, as its welcoming and pleasure-seeking nature entertains and distracts the visitor. Bologna requires a deeper look to discern the traces of a glorious past in which extraordinary figures have left their mark. Even its urban layout conceals a magical profile that hints at a celestial language. The city is, in fact, enclosed by 12 gates, each linked to one of the signs of the zodiac. It was here that Europe’s most important chair of astrology was established. We shall also encounter the mysterious tales of the Templars and the legendary quest for the Holy Grail, as well as studies related to Kabbalah and alchemy. This topic also brings to mind the figure of the witches, women who were the custodians of ancient natural knowledge. Every street holds a story and a secret that stimulates not only the imagination, but also the desire to deepen one’s understanding through careful observation of certain buildings – veritable ‘books of stone’ waiting to be interpreted."
