Sometimes, last-minute plans are the best. I took my little nephews on a walk this morning in this beautiful park that is only a ten-minute drive from my home. Entertaining and educational for all three of us. If you’re interested in going on a guided walking tour with me, get in touch. You’ll learn about Bologna beyond the city center (and I bet you’ll love it). Oh, and in my tours, I tend to include a stop at a local trattoria at the end 😋😉
Hazy today but pretty nonetheless. Happy 1st day of December! This is beautiful Valsamoggia, the hilly countryside about 40 minutes from Bologna, dotted with old villages and churches, and tasty trattorias. I lead walking and food/wine tours here, contact me if interested!
This is what an ‘acetaia’ looks like - inside the wooden barrels is what will become the prized ‘Traditional Balsamic Vinegar’ (aceto balsamico tradizionale), which is only produced in the Modena and Reggio-Emilia provinces of Emilia–Romagna.
Like the view? 😅
How cool that the visitor center of this Regional Park just outside Bologna is located inside a villa from the Renaissance that belonged to a wealthy Bolognese family (the Fava)... There is even a chapel annexed to it.
The beauty of the Bologna hills.
