Fontana di Nettuno
Yesterday my travels took me to Bologna, once I got there I was greeted by a bus strike which meant that I had to walk from the train station to the city center in the rain.
Bologna is full of life and good food! The city is busy with traffic both from people and vehicles. La Via dell' Independenza takes you straight from the train station to city center, a nice walk with lots of shops and cafes. Like San Gimignano, Bologna has a share of towers at some point more than a 100 towers of which less than 20 remain. One of them, La Torre di Garisenda is leaning, well it looks like it's about to crumble, so we can say that Bologna also has a leaning tower.
La Basilica di San Petronio is currently under renovation, this Basilica was meant to be the largest in the world but after construction started in 1390, construction was never finished, as Pope Pio IV stopped the work in favor of another project. The Basilica was finally finished in 1663 but not as planned. It is interesting because it the bottom half is different from the top half.
