I’ve got a couple of days in Bologna coming up. Any must sees/dos?
ETA: if it’s not underwater. I see reports of flooding in Emilia-Romagna 🌊

No Northern Italy travelers?

We were there ages ago, and the fantastic markets made a big impression on us.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to the food. Bologna is called the “stomach” of Italy. Huge food culture.
I’ve booked a gastronomy tour for the second day, 3 1/2 hours walking around the historic center and tasting stuff.
I can’t wait to see the food markets, though I have no idea how to find them. We’re staying near the two towers.
