Of the presence of the Celts in Bologna there isn't many information. We know that near the half of the 4th century A.C.
the Gaulic Boi reached [Italy] from the Gaulic region, a people of Bohemian origin that invaded the Pianura Padana (plain of the river Po, which is more or less the triangle of Milan-Ravenna-Venice, with Bologna and Padova/Padua on the edge).
Of this new population probably has been derived the Latin name Bononia : in fact it seems that the root derives just from the term Boi .
Bologna is a city in Italy situated in the province of Emilia-Romagna which borders on the south Tuscany and Marche and on the north Lombardia and Veneto. All are to be found in the North of Italy. Bologna is more or less between Padua and Florence. It contains one of the oldest universities of Europe.
