Bologna: Part 1

journal-bologna2

In late 2011, Siobhan and I went on a trip to Vienna, Austria, then took a train down Northern Italy to Rome.  Along the way, we stopped in Bologna, which I think is probably my second favourite Italian city, just behind Siena.

Bologna is a working, industrial city, yet full of life amongst the reddish hues in its streets and medieval inner streets.  I took this photo on Via Castiglione, just off the main square, with the morning sunlight filtering in between the buildings.  What I loved about the city was that it was unapologetically un-touristy, to the point that the tourist map didn’t actually identify tourist points of interest properly.
