Bologna è una regola is a single by Italian singer-songwriter Luca Carboni, the second from his twelfth studio album Pop-up and released on 1 January 2016.
Written by Luca Carboni and Alessandro Raina and set to music by Raina himself and Matteo Buzzanca, the song is an electro-pop ballad with a melancholic streak. Regarding the song, the artist declared:
«It’s a song about the magic and restlessness of my city. Magic that in the end can never be explained with reason or words and always remains a mystery. A mystery that is intertwined with the fate of many boys who are born here, live here, become men and many others who, however, come here for university. The restlessness and energy of many young lives who are lost or saved in these streets, who remain overwhelmed or come true, who stay or leave, perhaps never to return. It’s not just me in this song, I really find many other lives, other generations, other stories, many other faces.»
