Fun times to be had at the Sagra del Tortellone del Farneto, just outside Bologna. The highlight was the nettle tortelloni filled with delicious ricotta, prepared by local ‘zdaure’ (Bolognese women who make fresh pasta). Very courteous staff and casual atmosphere. I love sagre! Do you? • • #contesttortellone2018

I only discovered this restaurant recently and I love it - excellent quality of food (and wine), very nicely presented 👌🏻😋

My happy place to escape the heat: the Bologna Apennines, the mountains an hour and a half south of my native Bologna. Slide 1: on the trail leading to the top of Monte Spigolino, 1827m (name derives from its unmistakable pointy peak). Steep. Rocky. Loved it. Slide 2: on a stretch of the Alta Via dei Parchi (the complete trek traverses the entire Tuscan-Emilian Apennines), looking toward Monte Cupolino and the Duca degli Abruzzi mountain hut, the first ever built in the northern Apennines, dating to 1878. Slide 3: Lago Scaffaiolo, in a magnificent position by the ridge that divides Emilia from Tuscany, surrounded by peaks that reach almost 2,000 meters in altitude. Many are the legends associated with this small lake, one - even cited by Italian author Boccaccio in the Middle Ages - said that throwing a stone in the lake would trigger violent storms. In reality, the unexpected changes in weather are due to its geographic position. Slide 4: me, ruling it at the Strofinatoio Pass, 1847m. 💪🏻😬😂 Hike skillfully led by @cai_bologna_escursionismo_ 👏🏻👏🏻

With currently 34C (93F) in Bologna, I’m dreaming of last Sunday when I was in my beloved Dolomites, hiking up and down the Catinaccio group. Here I was at the Santner Pass, 2734m (8969ft), with the Latemar group in the background, enjoying the delightful early morning crisp air. #takemehigher

Pretty sunset on the hills of Bologna.

Marvelous view from Cresta di Gallo in the Regional Park of the High Modenese Apennines, my favorite 😍
