Picture Perfect #5: Under Construction

Photo taken in Bologna- Sep 2012

Bologna had many towers in the past (as many Italian cities in the Middle Age)  but today there are only the two shown in this pictures.

The right one - named Torre degli Asinelli - is under re-construction.
It is 97 meters high and it is leaning on a side though not as much as the celebrated Pisa Tower.

Picture Perfect ~ Four ~ Nostalgic

Picture Perfect #4: Nostalgic

Photo taken in Arezzo - Jan 2013

Pappa col pomodoro (tomato soup) was a poor dish meant to use old bread, now you can find it in many nice and trendy restaurants as the dish of Tuscan tradition.

A nostalgic wish to have such meals like 50 years ago. Nostalgia with taste!
