25th April is Liberation Day in Italy - when the country was liberated from the Fascists after WWII. In Bologna, the red capital of Italy, it was cause for great celebration, with bands in the Piazza Maggiore and everyone else either on bikes, window shopping, or eating ice cream as they strolled around. There are more than 100,000 students registered at the University there, and I was particularly impressed with the two I saw on beanbags in the middle of the pedestrian zone...
The other things that I learnt about Bologna is that the food is great - the market was beautiful and loaded with fabulous fruit and veg, cheeses and breads - and that the light is also amazing for taking photos.
