It’s hard to leave Bologna and its area, I am starting to take shots of every corner to create a scrapbook to take with me in my future city, just to remember the beautiful places of my homeland.
Today I will do something which I did not do for long time.
I will take a bus from my town to reach my mother in front of her working place and we will spend a couple of hours together, taking the chance to do shopping and to look for furnitures for my new flat.
I think that my passion for Bologna started when I was a child.

On Saturdays I had to attend school, but I remember that sometimes my mother kept me home to go for walks somewhere and to spend special mornings together.
That “somewhere” was often the weekly market in Bologna.
My mother used to attend the high school in that city when she was young, so I guess that Bologna had the same effect on both of us, it is cosmopolitan, each corners has something to discover, but at the same time it is well livable and handy.
In those Saturday mornings with my mother, we used to go downtown to see the pigeons in the main square, like every other kid I wanted to feed them, to play running towards them and to have fun; then we always walked along the tiny streets weekly market made my stands which were placed one opposite to the others and vice versa, looking at the sold seasonal clothing and stuffs, tasting sometimes a piadina romagnola or a pizza from the wonderful take-away called “Altero“.

I loved so much those special moments in Bologna that, when I was teenager and used to come home from the high school in Lugo (province of Ravenna), sometimes I wanted to continue the route by bus until Bologna, to spend the afternoon looking at the beautiful shop windows, enjoying some relaxing moments into the Park of the Montagnola, buying new books and stationery stuffs and so on.
Well, I really look forward to live again my memories of teenage today, some hours and my mind will be carried back in time, how exciting!
Do you have memories which are linked to special places of your teenage too?
