Giorgio's apartment is to die for. You cannot find anything more spacious or central without paying a fortune for it! Giorgio himself, although we didn't meet in person, was very kind and obliging: the keys were given to us by his uncle (who is the definition of white-hair cuteness), and his advice on where to eat was more than excellent and detailed! Bravo and thanks again, Giorgio!!!
The apartment itself is found in a building WITH an elevator (hooray!!!) - you don't find elevators in old palazzi in the very heart of an old city very often. As I mentioned already, the apartment is so big that you could litterally play a 5x5 soccer game in there! But it also oozes of the family's history and well-cared for household. Just going around in all the different rooms, taking a look at the various paintings and photos, the old pieces of furniture and the piano, all that gave me a sense of belonging to the same family even though I was just staying there for 3 nights, and even though there was no one present. Totally lovable!
From our balcony we could see one of the two Towers (Bologna's landmarks) just underneath us there was this wonderful corner salumeria (it's big, with lots of choices and an easy solution for a quick aperitivo or a self-service lunch if you're in a hurry) and from the bedroom window we could see the inside of the 3-floor Eataly establishment that lies in the building opposite ours (totally recommended too if you want to take your lunch/dinner or aperitivo there instead AND buy your italian books too). Anyhow, foodwise take Giorgio's advice and you won't regret it!
As for the city itself, what can one say? I could still be there (am writing this ten days after the trip) and would still not be able to taste all of what she has to offer! I'd love to go back to Bologna (and stay at Giorgio's) in autumn; this city gave me an autumn mood to be honest. The Via Capreria apartment gives the possibility to endlessly explore this wonderful city! Go-go-go!!!
