Although it was raining yet again, this saturday 5 of us hopped on a train and ventured to Bologna, Italy. Home to the oldest university in the Western world, Bologna is one of the most developed cities in Italy and has a much younger italian crowd than what we are used to Florence which is more diverse in age range. However, Bologna is also famous for its culinary tradition. Giving its name to Bolognese sauce, and also very famous for being the tortellini capitol!
Needless to say, we saw lots and lots of scrumptious looking food during our day in Bologna.
I don't think I have ever seen so many types of! tortellini! Everywhere we seemed to go we saw another color, shape or size. Definitely made us hungry.
But we didn't only see food, we got to see a gorgeous Church, and other historical buildings throughout the city. The city layout was more open than that of Florence.
I really loved the atmosphere and the younger energy of the local people. There was a random outdoor rock concert in the courtyard outside the church which was completely unexpected! After walking around and enjoying our afternoon seeing the various sites, we grabbed some tortellini before heading back to Florence in the evening.
