The reason why I love Bologna apart from the fact that they have H&M (they have the new Madonna line, yes I am shallow), is that it is such a nice cross between Florence and Siena. In terms of size, style, level of 'touristiness' etc.
Florence is beautiful, but too touristy at times. Siena is a great place to live in but too small. So Bologna is a nice hybrid of the two. Tons of brick-walled buildings and churches. Plenty of cute shops. May not be the top choice for many people when they head to Italy for a vacation, but still worth a visit! Recommended! I Approve!

I guess Bologna would be sort of what Brisbane is like - a happy mix between the 'happening' built-up-ness of Melbourne and the laidback nature of Perth...? I miss Brizzy!

ryan - how can be compare any parts of italy to brisbane!!!
babe, I've just been to Venice. It's amazing!!!
but Brizzy must be nice too!! We'd go together ok Baby!
I was trying to draw a parallel. Some might consider Italy to be more picturesque than Australia, but hey, I lived Down Under for a bit and I loved it. Sure, we'll go together, Baby! =)
