Unlike the typical non-stop sunshine Bologna usually has, we’ve had some clouds and rain recently. Non-stop rain today, in fact, which has made for some damp walks with Charlie. Still, thanks to the portici, you can go out for an hour or more and stay covered most of the time, which cuts down tremendously on the potential for sogginess.

But even when it’s overcast or wet, the city remains busy and beautiful. I thought I’d post a few photos taken over the past few days. Lots of portici, at least one shot of Charlie, and plenty of warm-colored architecture that battles bravely against grey skies.
