Snowy Bologna

When I left Chivasso on Friday it was snowing, and I thought I was escaping the winter weather by going to Bologna... But it was snowy there also. 

Despite the weather, it was beautiful and I couldn’t help but enjoy the beautiful views of the streets as I walked around. I just felt happy (cold, yes, but happy too)!

 

First I walked along via dell’Indipendenza and went into some of the stores to browse. And when I passed a nice nail salon, I couldn’t resist stopping and getting my nails done. Since it was snowy weather, I didn’t feel guilty about this decision in the least (and it’s amazing and silly how much better I feel about myself when my nails are pink haha). 

I made my way to Piazza Maggiore and then to the leaning tower of Asinelle. I had all the intentions of climbing to the top, but since the weather was bad, the visibility would have been low and I didn’t think it would have been worth it.

Definitely my favorite parts of Bologna were the colorful buildings, cute side streets, and the fact that almost every sidewalk was covered by beautiful porticos (I probably would not have appreciated them as much if it wasn’t snowing, but they really are quite beautiful and came in handy.

There are many aspects of Bologna that I didn’t get to experience, such as the food, the gelato, and climbing the tower for the view. But if I go back, I’ll be sure to put those at the top of my list of things to do.
