Bologna--the stomach of Italy, known by 3 names: La Rossa 红色之都, La Dotta 学习之都,La Grassa 胖子之都 ------Bolognese
Valencia for paella, Naples for pizza, Venice for risotto,
巴伦西亚的海鲜饭,那不勒斯的披萨,威尼斯的调味饭.
You are there in all your ruddy glory.
It is like Venice without canal. 像没有运河的威尼斯(交通方便?)
Food is your identity, it is in your DNA.
Bologna is like a generous mama, always in the kitchen feeding your boys big, hearty dinners of pasta.
Love is infectious. Bologna is in love with its own food.
