Bologna At Night

European cities have a nice aura at night, all dark alleys, hush cafes, dappled cobblestone streets. Time to head out into the darkness of Bologna.

The full moon is out over the Neptune fountain in the Piazza Maggiore area.

Sparkly tree. Civic drinking fountain.

"The rave is that way." Monument of the priest, Ugo Bassi.

Street light illumination.

Back at the Piazza Maggiore, the moon as strong backlight.

Around Bologna

Bologna, Italy, is famous for being a university town and for its tortellini. Food for the brain and the tummy. What else is notable?

How about twin towers, Garisenda e degli Asinelli? Looking good in the stark daylight.

Art is always welcome. A fun frieze at the San Pietro cathedral. "Young Christians, study your bible." Saint Sebastian with his usual arrows and unusually prominent codpiece. Someone is mesmerized.

Sometimes it rains at Hello Talalay. The famous Neptune fountain in the Piazza Maggiore.

Ooh, fabulous colors of fabulous things. Mortadella, the other famous food of Bologna. Ridiculous inlaid marble at a church.

A full moon is out over the most important landmark of the city, Basilica di San Petronio. Glowing.
