I stumled upon your blog and I was really delighted by the way it is designed and by the way you write. Also, for some reason, I am always curious about how foreigners see the practicalities of living in Italy (and about what they think about our country). Perhaps because at times I feel a little foreigner in my own country as well.
that said, I want to contribute to the places off the beaten path category:
- Bologna as a whole. Maybe there is no single outstanding piece of beauty (with the exception of piazza maggiore, maybe) but I think this town is wonderful. Pasolini considered it Italy’s most beautiful city (apart from Venice). More in detail, B. has got a huge old town, the longest amount of porches (portici), two (not twin) towers, an old ghetto and hebrew museum, a wonderful cathedral and main square, a good egyptian museum, a church-with-seven-churches-one-inside-the-other and….
(and I don’t even come from Bologna, but from Modena, its arch-rival!)
