On our first visit to Bologna back in Sep 2002 we spent quite a bit of time hanging out in Piazza Maggiore, just watching the world go by with a coffee or gelato. However, each time we sat back to relax for a while we were rudely interrupted by some loud music playing just around the corner in Piazza Nettuno.
On investigation, the man responsible for the racket was a leather clad, motorcycle riding, long haired muscle man! Mr 'Guitar Man', as we christened him, was playing a tiny electric guitar very loud, over the top of piped music. What class!!
He seemed to be playing several times a day, and his twangs could be heard from all around. I will never forget his style - hair blowing in the breeze while he played his heart out to a dodgy version of Tina Turners "We don't need another Hero".....and clearly we don't, cause we have the Guitar Man, and he was so cool he could even give the Hoff a run for his money ; ) Leave a Comment

Terzi, mescita e commercio caffè e te pregiati
Via Oberdan 10
h. 8.00 - 18-00
Closed sunday
My prefered place to take a coffe or a tea is this, in venetian stucchi style, with gentle weiters that explain you all the type of coffe.
It's located in the central Via Oberdan, away from the main street, there is this parfumed and secial place.......
The caffetteria Terzi sell and prepare not the usual day coffe or tea, the owner select the best cru of coffe, from all over the world and he can help you in the choose.
There are 50 variety of tea, and tisane too that are made with a hot woter from a original Samovar.
There are special recipts like nuts, pistacchio, pepeper coffe or viennoise cappuccino and the superb Cremino:.3 layers of coffee and cream served in a parfait glass....it's a little bit expensive than the other place, but it's not Starbuck! Leave a Comment Phone: Tel. 051/236470

This are nice piece of work and look very atractive. The first graphite is painted on the front facade of an house which is under major reconstruction works and it will probably disappeared in a while. To bad because it is nice piece of work and funny. The other one is painted on a wall in porticoe which is situated right opposite to the main entrance of the university (Universita degli studi). Leave a Comment

 University logo by Fra.da.
University became an organization much later, the first "state" University in Italy was in Naples and it was founded by Federico II (it is called "Università Federico II" even now).
Bologna University is still one of the biggest in Italy.

 Most common scene in the city by croisbeautyLeave a Comment

In the medieval times there were about 180 towers in Bologna, most of them built by the local noble families. Actually, it was a kind of competition among themselves in order to show the importance and the riches of particular family. Not much of the towers survived, besides most famous Asinelli and Garisenda, there are still remained the towers Prendiparte, Azzoguidi, Torresotto and few others of minor importance. Leave a Comment

 On via Indipendenza by MarvintheMartian
I was quite surprised to find that on my return journey to the station this church had yet another service going on and it was even busier. To begin with I thought there was a special event as there were people dress up in DJ's at the door, but I'm told this is normal. Leave a Comment

The whole central part of the town looks like an big open space museum and virtually every building in it deserves your attention. Great many of building are constructed by the red coloured bricks which makes the old core very pitoresque. For such an, relatively small town, Bologna has great number of museums and you'll met them all around. Leave a Comment
