The XIII. At the beginning of the century, the "greasy" and the "scientist" The myth of Bologna. He is a scientist because the first European university was born here in 1088, and because the school of the glossators, the interpreters of Roman law, flourished here, to which we owe the spread of Roman law. It is fat - i.e. abundant, rich, healthy - because its land is fertile, irrigated and gentle; because his kitchen is cheerful and dazzling; because it welcomes strangers generously and cordially and respects the diverse needs of those staying there. The characteristics of the hospitality were noticed by all the foreigners who visited it, and the praises associated with the city are repeated over the centuries. Among the oldest, it is worth mentioning that it was declared by students and teachers in 1155 before Frederick Barbarossa, who stopped in Bologna after being crowned emperor in Rome. "Here there is a great abundance of products, here the inhabitants are polite, here you can find decent accommodation, here, after all, you have everything that can promote studies and life". This is a city that satisfies both food and a desire for knowledge, a city celebrated by scientists as fat, but which can only afford to be a scientist because it is fat.
