I've been to Italy 16 times. There's one city I always recommend to first-time visitors. - Business Insider

After visiting Italy 16 times, Bologna is the city that stands out to me the most. I've been to Italy 16 times, and if you give me an opening, I can work it into just about any conversation. But surprisingly, it wasn't Venice, Rome, or the Amalfi Coast that made me fall head over heels for the country. It was Bologna, the capital of northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. Bologna has it all — food, wine, art, history, architecture, and the kind of energy that makes you seriously consider missing your flight home. Sure, seeing the Colosseum is cool, but I prefer eating perfectly made tortellini with a glass of pignoletto in Bologna. Here's why I always recommend tourists add Bologna to their itinerary, even if they can only spare one glorious, carb-loaded night.

6 October 2026BBCDave Beausire said GST would have a massive effect on businessesA business owner has expressed concerns about the effect changes to Guernsey's tax system will have on businesses. Politicians voted by 22 votes for and 17 against to approve Policy and Resources' (P&R) tax package consisting of GST, a 15% income tax on the first £28,000 earned, higher social security rates, a new annual vehicle tax, higher corporate taxes and government savings. Dave Beausire from Le Mont Saint Garage said it would have a "massive effect on business". Deputy Lindsay de Sausmarez, President of the P&R Committee, said the States has to stabilise public finances... and reduce the tax burden on people who are struggling with the cost of living". Guernsey Retail Group said many retailers would be disappointed and worried for the future of their business following the decision. Beausire said he has already seen businesses on social media making the decision to close at the end of 2028. He said: "GST for business like ours, that buys in wholesale goods and then retails them out, it's going to cost me at least another person to administer it.
