Sun(ny)day in Bologna

Just taking blablacar for the first time in my life to go spending one day in Bologna, and today it is supposed to be the Patron Day of the city.

Fortunately there were not so many people going all around, and fortunately somebody already booked for me in a very tipical restaurant 😎

Let’s start from some squares and the most popular streets of Bologna:

the famous 'Via Zamboni' — the famous ‘Via Zamboni’

Piazza Verdi - Bologna — Piazza Verdi – Bologna

San Donato's Church - Bologna — San Donato’s Church – Bologna

torre dell'Asinello - Bologna — torre dell’Asinello – Bologna

San Petronio - Bologna — San Petronio – Bologna

Going down the streets you can discover lovely places where you can taste typical foods like prosciutto (ham), meat, tortellini (traditional pasta), good wine and so on…

In one of the corner of the city centre, here you are the oldest cafe: Zanarini with one of the best coffee in Bologna, famous for its cakery, where all the bolognesi go:

And here you are some nice and weird shots ☺️:

Et voila! Here you are the best you can have: piada, crescentine, squaquerone and prosciutto – that is to say: typical pastry with cheese cream and smoked ham, everything is absolutely handmade and taste special!

lots of different salami and cured meats

Here’s my day in Bologna! See you on next trip!

Ibiza 2015 – party calendar #tastetherealibiza

#tastetherealibiza is what I’ve just read on the flyer I took ad a souvenir from my vacation on the isle.

I’ve just realized it’s the whole ‘temporada’ – how it is named the party-season, from June until the end of October.

Just to have a clear idea of the isle, here you are the northern side with the fantastic Sant Antoni and its bays like Cala Comte, Cala Tarida and so on…

One of the most advertised activities are the boat-parties film of entertainers, live music, club transfers, shows, chill out and sun areas and all makes you think about funny beats and crowds!

Here we are, let’s go talking about the less known places where I’ve spent some days, to finish with the most popular and maybe necessary places to go (otherwise it’s not worth enough to go to Ibiza 😎)

Mambo Cafe to enjoy a subasta aperitivo or dinner; it’s opposite to Cafe del Mar, but even more better if you love alternative-funky music. Whereas Cafe del Mar, I think it’s more for posh people, maybe for breakfast or a prosecco, for lovers. Then, Satrinxa, in the Southern coast, where you must have aperitivo with music – but take your drink and go directly into the sea!

Just one more note about Satrinxa: there you can see the famous las salinas of the isle, where the popular ‘Salt of Ibiza’ is produced.

Here some other places as Can Yucas in Cala Tarida – wonderful restaurant, and Can Berri bar restaurant – a more bohémienne and rural place in Sant Agustí:

And then the tiny and welcoming Rock Cafe at the harbour, runned by an English lady, where an Italian guy can show you his artistic cocktails:

And then the 2015 calendar for the summer, sponsored by Pacha:

Monday: Aoki's playhose — Monday: Aoki’s playhose

Wednesday: Martin Solveig - My house night — Wednesday: Martin Solveig – My house night

Thursday - fuck me I'm famous — Thursday – fuck me I’m famous: David Guetta & friends

Saturday: pura Pacha and Paris Hilton party (with foam!)

Super vintage shop of Florence: ubflorence.it

I was out of the office, going towards via de Neri in Santa Croce. I decided to pass by the narrows surrounding the Dome and I found this weird place with everything in it! Everything was so vintage that made everybody curious to look more and more to disocover all those little things that maybe you were used in the past, when you were a child.

Let’s start from vintage radios (those ade just some shelves 😅):

And here you see the funniest side: lots of posters from the 80s and first of 90s, the ones you have in your school room…

– The following pic shows the word ‘codesta’ that is a Tuscan word which means ‘this’ –

Note that the decorations are the old letters that were sent by air:

Florence best rooftop ever: I don’t wanna move from here 😍

I’m not a snob and I don’t want to give you a wrong feeling, but believe me, the photos you’ll see in this article really represent the top rooftop of the city, or better, the very center of the city.

Some photos show you Santa Croce, Green mosque, the fantastic Dome, by day and by night:

Live from Belle Epoque market in Florence

I don’t know why tourists and Italians would buy gadgets from Paris in Florence, but it works this way 😳

I’m exactly in Santissima Annunziata Square and there’s this Parisienne market where you can find everything from souvenirs representing Tour Eiffel, bags, jewelry and fake representation of Moulin Rouge!

Here you are a little demo 😁 and if you want to enjoy it remember it will be open until next weekend

Vogue fashion’s night out with coffee Illy for #DREAM campaign -vfno2015

It’s the day after. Just having a coffee in Gilli, one of the top place of Florence, and discovering about this collaboration through a lot of wonderful postcards, ‘free postcards’ 😳

I should have known before that Vogue and Illy were having a contest about the best landscapes and pictures representing Dreams. Lot of pictures took part, but just a little has been selected to become real paintings (or illustrations) that will be exhibit here.

Here you are the selected postcards:

Vogue fashion night out #vfno2015 Florence

Yes here we are! Just after some hours spent in the streets of the city center to explore the Vogue Fashion Night of 2015..

Agenda said it would have been full of people, parties, dj sets and shops open till late, but above all, the promotional gadgets were supposed to be everywhere. Not true. Gadgets can be translated into buying #vfno t-shirts for only 20€…25€

Even if the 30% is supposed to be part of charity funds for Meyer’s hospital, I literally think that this price is too much.

Anyway, let’s start with a little bit of pictures:
