We just had time to scoot around Bologna and see the sights, before heading to the Teatro Communale. It is a beautiful theatre, with mirrors and gold leaf, but the opera boxes are not good as they seem - it's very difficult to have a good view of the stage without adopting various uncomfortable postures! It was a very good production, with excellent singing, but we didn't go back after the interval ...
 |
| We love Bologna, but it's always cold there! Well, if we will visit in the winter ... |
 |
| The boxes fill up ... |
 |
| The Casa Isolani - from the 13th cent. One of the few portici made of timber which still survive. It's now available as a B&B - someone is visible at a window on the top floor - some B&B! |
 |
| Over the Appenines to Prato - a lot more snow |
 |
| Lunch stop in Prato - cold but sunny |
 |
| Almost home - Lucca walls and cathedral - the air almost balmy in comparison to what's gone before! |
