This is an example of using flickr to upload a photo to my blog but it was NOT EASY!

Did You Know......

Ok - it's not striclty Italian related but definitely food for thought!

Little Venice - Bologna

This is a photo of a tiny canal that runs through the heart of Bologna - one of Italy's beautiful Northern cities. It is a curious find as you are walking down one of Bologna's porticoed streets you come across a little wooden shutter in the wall and behind it is what gli Bolognesi call Little Venice! If you happen to be in Bologna check it out - it's beteen Capo di Lucca and Via Alessandrini.

And while there you should test this beautiful city on it's nicknames - Bologna la Dotta (the learned), Bologna la Rossa (the red - famous for it's left wing politics) and especially Bologna la Grassa (the fat - for it's wonderful food!!)

Bella Venezia

Ciao tutti. Here's my first attempt to upload a photo from picassa of Venice's Bridge of Sighs! I decided on picassa because it seems to link to google and I know other family members use it too. Hopefully it will be as good as flickr!

E penso a te

Ed ora - un po di musica! Questa canzone e bellisima - ed e anche utile per imparare l'italiano.

And now for a little music. This is a beautiful song by Lucio Battisti which doubles up as a very useful way to learn some verbs in the present tense!

Buon divertimento (Enjoy)

Benvenuti

Ciao a tutti - benvenuti al mio blogspot italiano! Voglio usare questo spot per praticare la bella lingua ed anche per sentire notizia d'Italia.
