Pomeriggio invernale, centro storico, Bologna, 2019.Bologna is a glorious city, one largely ignored by foreign tourists even though it is the oldest university city in Europe with some wonderful medieval and renaissance buildings. The arcades shown in the photo are part of the 40 km of covered walkways claimed by the city. The red brick used as a building material gives it the nickname “Bologna Rosso” (Bologna the red - also a comment on the university city’s leftist politics). It is the food capital of Italy. Several of Italy’s most famous foods including balsamic vinegar, Parma ham, and Parmesan cheese, as well as excellent wines originate in nearby parts of Emilia-Romagna and are featured in the restaurants and shops of Bologna. -- source link
