Dressing appropriately

DSC_0380.

Bologna. No wind. 28 degrees C. (That is 82 degrees F.) The Bolognese ladies wrap themselves in – wool.

Because it’s only April. And Italians dress according to month, not temperature.

And most importantly: They dress in style. No matter what.

(American tourists appeared in shorts and t-shirt. Northern Europeans, like myself, were sweating away in jeans. And none of us looking half as cool as the Italians in all their winter garments 😉 How do they do it??)

Bologna

To me, Bologna was mainly about three things. And this photo sums them all up: the colour red, sharp shadows and vaults upon vaults upon vaults.

There is a lot more to be said on this matter, and it will be said. When it’s not 28 degrees C! 😉
