Bologna is only a 90 minute drive from Bagni Di Lucca if you drive across the mountain towards Abetone. We have done this a couple of times now. Bologna is a city that needs to be visited often.
I just love the 2 market streets in the centre of town, Via Pescheria and Via Drapperie. Take a look at the wonderful things on offer there.

the bakery next door

great colours
finocchio and radicchio
walnuts
I love fennel

sardines
cute little fish
a huge eel
torta de verdure
fresh pasta
ready to take home
in the butcher’s window
it looks very fresh
pig’s trotter anyone?
the chicken shop
somebody must have found this amusing
back to the flowers
beautiful tulips
Now why would you want to go to a supermarket, when you could shop here?
I have always stayed at Hotel Drapperie at 5 Via Drapperie. www.albergodrapperie.com Phone (39) 051 223955
