Bologna

We spent 2 days in this amazing Italian city in Emilia-Romagna. We stayed in an AirBnb room in a really nice apartment in the city.
The city is a university town, and the biggest city in the region of Emilia-Romagna.

I was truly amazed how nice the people dress up. Fashion in the good sense of the word. They match every single piece of item. And they know exactly how to do it in a stunning way. They even match their dogs. Or actually they match their clothes, hair styles, shoes and perfume to the dog they walk. Dog is an accessory. Interesting concept. I must admit, I've never thought of a pet this way.

The two main squares: Piazza Nettuno and Piazza Maggiore are built together, and surrounded by many palaces, and the Basilica of San Petronio.

Neptun, the god of freshwater and the sea













One of these palaces is what used to be the City Hall; Palazzo d'Accursio. The building, which is a museum today, located on the Piazza Maggiore dates back to the 14th century.

Besides that we went to see the City History Museum, the Tagliavini Musical Instrument Collection and were meandering a lot in the historical city center.

The food - oh the Food, or actually the FOOD is the best in Italy.
It begins with the best ingredients:
