"I fiü' del Duttóur Balanzón" is a phrase in Bolognese dialect (a variety of Emilian, spoken in Bologna, Italy) that translates to "The sons of Doctor Balanzone" in English.
Who is Doctor Balanzone? Doctor Balanzone (or Dottor Balanzone) is a character from the Commedia dell'Arte, a form of Italian theater popular in the 16th-18th centuries. He is a stock character representing a pompous, verbose, and comically self-important doctor or scholar, often depicted wearing a black robe and a hat typical of academics or lawyers. Balanzone is strongly associated with the city of Bologna, which was historically renowned for its university and learned professions. What does the phrase mean? "I fiü' del Duttóur Balanzón" refers to "the sons (or descendants) of Doctor Balanzone," metaphorically implying the people of Bologna. Since Doctor Balanzone is a symbolic figure of Bologna, the phrase is often used to describe Bolognese citizens or to evoke a sense of local pride and identity connected to their cultural heritage.
