The history of Bologna begins with settlements of the Villanovan culture in the 9th century BC. Later, it was influenced by the Etruscans, who founded the city of Felsina in the 6th century BC.

In the 20th century, Bologna suffered significant damage during World War II. In the postwar period, the city experienced rapid economic development and became a major industrial and cultural center.
