Autumn in Bologna
So many beautiful places to see in Italy and autumn seems the perfect time for this adventure. So much history, wall-to-wall sunshine, 30 degrees plus and dodging the rain in Blighty. What more could you want?
Tumblr media
We’ve been clocking up the steps in Bologna, taking in the sights and experiencing the Italian way of life in this lovely country. We’re learning more about how things work and meeting so many new people from across Europe and beyond.
Tumblr media
It was an easy journey into Bologna by public bus which came into the campsite for pick up and drop off. Bologna is famous as the birthplace of Marconi, the inventor of radio and his contribution is credited across the city.
Tumblr media
Our first stop was the Salaborsa Library where the remains of an ancient Roman city are hidden below. Visitors can see the ruins through the floor of the library and go underground to explore further. Two main streets and the remains of an ancient sewage system built in the 2nd and 3rd Centuries BC can be seen. But deeper ruins suggest an even earlier settlement was there before the founding of Bologna.
Tumblr media
The heart of the city is Piazza Maggiore and is home to the Basilica of San Petronio which is Bologna’s most beloved and important church - but not it’s Cathedral, that is in another part of the city. The Basilica is dedicated to Petronius, the patron saint of the city, but it was never finished because the project was considered too complicated.
Tumblr media
Piazza Santo Stefano is also an important site, named after the Basilica Santo Stefano which was in fact, built as not one church but a complex of seven. Restoration work in the 1800s changed the shape of the complex and four churches now remain.
Tumblr media
Inside, you can wander through this incredible building where every section has its own story to tell. There you can see the remains of the monastery of Santo Stefano and its cloister and the oldest nativity scene in the world.
Tumblr media
Bologna also has a 60km network of underground canals, the latest dating back to the 12th Century. These channels are now largely covered but we were able to view the “window on the canal” and this area of the city is known as “little Venice”.
Tumblr media
Alex has been scaling the heights again. He climbed the Asinelli Tower - the highest authentic Mediaeval tower in Italy at 97 metres high. It was originally built in 1150 to defend the city but is now a major tourist attraction.
Tumblr media
This climb was challenging to say the least as most of the others attempting this feat were considerably younger - by about 40 years! To get to the top, Alex climbed 498 steps in a winding stone and wooden staircase only wide enough for one person. There was a sheer drop to one side and a small, wooden handrail to the other.
He had to make the climb without stopping to catch his breath because he was being pursued by the 20-somethings coming up behind him. His reward was a fabulous 360 degree panoramic view of the city - but I was more worried that he was going to have a heart attack before reaching the top!
After surviving this ordeal - sorry heroic challenge - we felt it wouldn’t be right to come to Bologna without sampling one of its delicious cakes. So we found a little coffee shop tucked away in one of its historic streets and added probably half a stone each with a Primavera. It was so worth it!
Tumblr media
Now we’re in Florence, walking off the Primavera and continuing on the next stage of our Italian adventure.

Dalla parte del Presidente

Il Presidente non approva nulla. il Presidente…

animali Vorrei parlare d’altro, o quasi. I giornali di ieri avevano la fotografia di un soldato israeliano accucciato, con l’arma impugnata e nell’altro braccio un cagnolino maltese bianco, scampato al massacro del kibbutz. Le cronache dicevano di bambini uccisi coi loro animali. La strage degli innocenti è così completa. Chissà quale imbecillità spingeva dei governanti israeliani a chiamare “animali” i tagliagole di Hamas e a minacciare di trattarli “come animali”. Sono stato a Gaza, nella guerra del 2014, per Repubblica, con Fabio Scuto. Il 5 agosto mandai il mio pezzo: “Non comincerò dai bambini: troppo facile. Comincerò da dove comincerebbero i bambini, dallo zoo di Gaza. Si trova in un sobborgo pesantemente bombardato e svuotato di abitanti. Scendiamo fino alle gabbie, aspettandoci di non trovare vivi gli animali. Da giorni nessuno viene fin qui. Le gabbie, sgangherate, ci sono, e ci sono gli animali. Un gibbone, nella prima: si muove lentamente di qua e di là, incerto fra accoglienza e offesa. C’è un odore tremendo di putrefazione, che guida lo sguardo sui cadaveri decomposti di due cuccioli. Le gabbie successive sono dei leoni: una coppia in una, un grosso maschio nell’altra. Erano celebri: lo zoo aveva importato le sue fiere dall’Egitto attraverso i famigerati tunnel. Portare leoni o tigri nei tunnel – e come fare con una giraffa? Ora i leoni devono essere affamati e assetati a morte, però non hanno un atteggiamento aggressivo: al contrario, si drizzano contro la rete come aspettandosi ristoro, o almeno una complicità all’evasione. Nella prossima gabbia c’è una piccola disgraziata arca di Noè, un sovraffollamento – uso il termine carcerario – di animali alla rinfusa: un imponente pellicano, che spinge verso di me il magnifico becco, un coccodrillo morto, lui, con la testa infilata dentro un tubo, e i resti spiaccicati di una cicogna. In un recinto accanto due struzzi mi vengono incontro con dignitosa fiducia. C’è una gabbia di volpi impazzite che corrono in cerchio e si scavalcano frenetiche, una di lupi macilenti. Era famoso, questo zoo raccogliticcio, anche perché un veterinario si era arrangiato a esaudire la passione dei bambini per le zebre dipingendo a strisce nere un paio di asinelli bianchi. L’ultima gabbia contiene una coppia di macachi, e solo quando la femmina penosamente si muove mi accorgo che ha un piccolo aggrappato alla pancia. Incredibile come somigli a un bambino. Non ho cominciato dai bambini, era troppo facile”. - Conversazione con Adriano Sofri, Facebook
