ON THE ROAD: people-watching in Bologna

We did a walking tour of the city today and it afforded me the occasion to do some picture-taking of people at work and play. 

We passed by a machine shop on the way into the center of town, where the owner was working on a bicycle  for a customer.

This one-man band is a fixture, always at the same corner. He seems to know the people in the neighborhood, and I’ve often seen him chatting away with friends.

 

The produce market area always brings out lots of vendors and customers.

We were invited to watch a pasta making demonstration at one of the city’s finest pasta stores. Our pasta maker was a delight! We were not as successful in rolling pasta as she was.

we learned that this was the oldest bar in the city, so I ran in to take a peek. I noticed that at least one older gentlemen had embraced technology.

People enjoying a meal or just stopping for a drink..cafes and restaurants are everywhere in this bustling city.

 

Whether at work or at play, people in Bologna have a magnificent city to enjoy.
