"Expats in Bologna often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. As Italian is the primary language spoken in Bologna, expats may find it difficult to communicate with locals and navigate their way around the city. Additionally, expats may find the local customs and traditions to be quite different from their own, which can be difficult to adjust to. Furthermore, the pace of life in Bologna is often slower than what expats may be used to, which can be a challenge to adapt to," remarked another expat who made the move to Bologna, Italy.
