1) Towers
Way back when, in Bologna power was demonstrated through tower building. He who built the largest tower was obviously the most powerful.
2) Tortellini
Now this is technically tortelloni, which is what most people outside of Italy would call Tortellini anyways. Tortelloni is basically large Tortellini. Tomato, Tomahto, it was the most delicious pasta dish I've every had.
3) Tits
This is one of the mermaid women from the base of the famous Neptune statue in Piazza Maggiore ("Big Square"). As you can see from this photo, the mermaids play a key role in the water fountain's design as they shoot water from their nipples. According to my local expert, they actually used to cover the naked Neptune so as to not offend/disgust the women of the city center. But apparently the site of a woman holding her breasts with perky water spouts for nipples was never an abhorrent site to see for anyone.
