oh BOLOGNA! how we love you! you are earthy, comforting, delicious, vibrant, friendly, modern and beautifully historic AND our new favorite place to hop over to on weekends!
the above dish is bologna's famous bolognese ragù sauce served with tagliatelle pasta. it is so fresh and hearty and addictive! the tagliatelle pasta's texture is porous and rough, making it ideal for thick sauces - every bite is just FULL of flavor!
the photo below the bolognese pasta is the view of the canal from location #1. the photo of chris + kate by the cut out window is taken at location #3. see the map screenshot + descriptions below for exact street locations!

canal location #1: via guglielmo oberdan
canal location #2: via piella 
canal location #3: via piella - has the cut out window with door! jack and kate were thrilled to be able to look through it!
canal location #4: via malcontenti - this is probably my favorite view!
after checking out all four views of the charming canal, we had lunch at the gessetto ristorante located nearby at the piazza san martino! by the way, all of the food photos in this post are from our lunch at this highly recommended restaurant!

the above (right) photo is the view from location #2! and this is the delicious mortadella bologna. i don't know if it was my imagination or what but it seems most of bologna's buildings are painted in this color!

this view from location #4! i love the views from all four locations and it only takes just a few minutes to get to each one so try to visit all of them! but if you really are short on time, just go directly to this one as it is probably the most picturesque:

bologna is famous for its porticos! it has more than 600 covered arches covering length of nearly 40 kilometers! each one is unique and beautiful and allows you to walk from portico to portico on rainy days without an umbrella! and on sunny days, they also act as wonderful shields against the heat!

if you are visiting bologna, you MUST (absolutely must!) stop by the SORBETTERIA CASTIGLIONE and have their gelatos. we've had our share of gelatos in our two years of living in italy and i must say this is our favorite so far! try the DOLCE EMMA: the sweetness of the caramelized figs, the salty creaminess of the fresh ricotta cheese, and the acidity of lemon was a combination that made me feel like i was floating in HEAVEN!

MY MUST HAVE CAMERA EQUIPMENT:

** ona messenger bag – my favorite camera bag! here too.
** nikon camera body
** 35mm lens (less expensive sigma option) – if i could have only one lens this would be it as it’s small and versatile! i like to take close up detail shots like food with this.
** 85mm lens – perfect portrait lens for creating that amazing bokeh/blur in the background!
** 14-24mm lens – as a little girl that dreamed of being an architect, i can’t live without this lens. this lens takes your travel photos to another level for sure!
