Project Overview
Showcase Website for Bolognese Gastronomic Excellences
La Bottega was born from the need to create a professional online presence for a historic
Bolognese food shop, specialized in traditional products of the Emilian territory.
The project had to enhance local culinary traditions and present the shop's specialties
in an attractive way, creating a browsing experience that reflected the quality
and authenticity of the products.
The website presents gastronomic specialties organized by categories: delicatessen,
cheese shop, gastronomy, wines, bakery and typical products. Each section is carefully
detailed through specialized photo albums that guide the visitor in discovering the
excellences of the Bolognese territory and Emilia-Romagna.

The Tradition of the Bolognese Bottega
