Goodness. Given the variety of shapes and sizes of members of our species, I suppose these probably fit someone, but ... soooo long and skinny!
This is the church that appears in some of the Due Torri pics. Love the colors, and the shapes......
The Due Torri themselves.
A study in positive and negative space.
The church again.
Bologna, late on Sunday afternoon.
We knew where we wanted to eat supper, and we were waiting for them to open. Their facebook page said they'd open at 7:00 pm, on Sundays.
Me, photographing a new-to-me medium for street art.
This little guy's edges are way too sharp to have been spray-painted through a stencil. Taking a closer look, we discover he is made from cut paper! By someone who is a dab hand at cut paper! Look at the way the bowstring and the arrow switch from light to dark when they are over the man's body...... This artist really knew what s/he was doing!
My brother is in the Society for Creative Anachronism, and has been known to shoot arrows. This one's for you, bro.
Speaking of spray paint, you can apparently pay extra for clothes and shoes that have been randomly sprayed with black paint.
This reminds me of our black/white/red Bologna apartment. Three sizes of the same chair (see the teeny one on the shelf?).
We went past our chosen restaurant shortly after 7:00 pm. The light was on in the back, and there was music, but the front was dark and the door was locked. Tired of walking around waiting for them to open, I knocked on the door. Someone heard me, and answered the door. I inquired when they were planning to open. I was told 7:30, but then a voice called from the back "No, NOW" (in English). So they opened, apparently just for us, and let us make our selections.
Piadina is a very flat bread. It's thinner and more crisp than any other flat bread I've ever had. We believe the sandwiches made from this bread (folded -- the bread is too crisp to roll) are also called piadina. This place (Your Piadina) and its partner (My Piadina) are said to offer the best piadine in town.
My daughter had the squacquerone e rucola, and it was very good indeed. Squacquerone is a very fresh cheese that is sort of like cottage cheese, only the curds are not rounded but rough, and the whole thing is a lot tangier. Rucola is arugula. I had mozzarella and tomato and basil, which was fine, but not as interesting and different as the squacquerone e rucola.
Here's what my daughter has to say about squacquerone.
They make four different kinds of bread to choose from. We had this kind: "thin and wide, it's the piadina that you can enjoy throughout the province of Rimini." (Rimini is southwest of Bologna, less than an hour's drive away.)
Satisfied. Mmmmm.
Walking home as the sun set.
I like that the pedestrians are basically silhouettes, and I like the repeated shape of the suspended streetlights, and the light on the fronts of the buildings on the east side of the street.
Walking across the bridge over the railroad tracks. Wow.
