Trip2, part1

 As you might have noticed from the visit to the Ducati museum, I visited Bologna.  Like most Italian cities, Bologna has a "centro storico" or historic center.  And of course, beautiful churches.

 Also, Bologna is home to not one...but two leaning towers.  These towers may be more typically medieval that the famous one, but as you can see, this one leans a quite a bit.















During this trip, I visited Bologna, Trento, Trieste, Ravenna and Rimini.  The next few photos are from Trento.  Trento is probably my favorite Italian city so far.  It is nestled in a valley at the foothills of the Alps and has both beautiful scenery and an interesting mix of historic and modern/contemporary architecture.

 In Trieste, we can see some similarities to the architecture commonly found in Vienna Austria-(not really all that far away)

 There is also an ancient forum here.

I hope this panorama turns out!
