ESRA Annual Congress 2027

September in Bologna is golden—the city's porticoes catch the soft autumn light as you walk between sessions, and the air carries the first hint of harvest. Between talks, dip into the Quadrilatero market for a late-afternoon tagliatelle al ragù, then climb the Asinelli Tower for a sunset view of the red rooftops. It's a perfect blend of serious learning and serious eating, with the summer crowds gone and the weather still warm enough for an evening passeggiata.
