In 744, the city of Bologna, together with the Ravenna Exarchate, to which it was subordinate, was transferred to the Pope by Charlemagne.

In 898, the Western Emperor Berengar I annexed Bologna to the Kingdom of Italy. In 961, the Kingdom of Italy was conquered by King Otto I of Germany, who in 962 declared himself Holy Roman Emperor.
The University of Bologna was founded in 1088.
In 1183, Bologna received the right to mint coins.
In 1447, an agreement was signed on the division of powers between the Holy See and city government. At the end of the century, Bologna was formally under the authority of the pope, but in fact it was ruled by the Signoria.
In 1506, an agreement was concluded between Pope Julius II and King Louis XII of France, as a result of which power in Bologna returned to the papal throne.

On June 19, 1796, Napoleon proclaimed the fall of papal rule and the formation of the Republic of Bologna. A few months later, Bologna became part of the Cispadane Republic, with its capital in Reggio, and in 1797, the Cisalpine Republic, with its capital in Milan. In 1802, Bologna became the center of the department of Reno in Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy. In 1814, Bologna was captured by the Austrians.
In 1815, after the partition of Italy, Bologna was again transferred to the Papal State.

In February 1830, an uprising broke out in Bologna, as a result of which the papal legate was forced to transfer power to the government of the United Italian Provinces, but on March 26 the Austrian army entered the city and restored papal rule.

In 1859, Bologna became part of the Sardinian kingdom, and in 1861 - of the united Italy.
