While I enjoyed my trip, I&#8217;d never been back. I always seemed to have another trip pulling me in a different direction. But I&#8217;ve definitely been missing out. Bologna is the type of city that makes you feel small but doesn&#8217;t alienate you from its secrets.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t post all my pictures here &#8211; if you&#8217;d like to see more pictures of Bologna, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msadventuresinitaly\/sets\/72157594518002360\/\">view my Bologna photoset on Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The main piazza, Piazza Maggiore, has a way of overwhelming you and welcoming you at the same time with its large spaces that are vertically dominated. You can tell it&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bologna_university\">university town<\/a> &#8211; there is an abundance of youth that I haven&#8217;t seen in any other Italian city, and it reminded me quite a bit of San Francisco. Like SF, almost every person you pass has their own style and vibe different from the next.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Photo Sharing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msadventuresinitaly\/379905985\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/148\/379905985_c4f936f749.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"Piazza Maggiore\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/San_Petronio_Basilica\">San Petronio<\/a>, the basilica in the middle of Piazza Maggiore, technically has an unfinished facade, but I like the texture.
