Born in Milan, the son of a municipal employee and a housewife, in 1936 Bologna started working as a primary school teacher, and in 1939 he attended the course for cadet officers in the former italian city of Pula.[1] A lieutenant during World War II, he was wounded during a battle, and then received a bronze medal for military valor.[1]
