Ayrton Senna monument
Sculpture
👍👍 10,238 days after that black Sunday, finally visited Imola last May to pay my respects to my childhood idol. I recommend any Senna fan to go there. It has finally given me some closure of what happened. Placed a memorial cross in his honour. Thank you, Ayrton. For everything.

Palazzo Tozzoni
Art museum
👍👍 Bellissimo palazzo storico, con arredi, quadri e ritratti.In alcune stanze, meno sfarzose sembra di vedere il vero vissuto tra quelle mura, come in cucina e nelle sale da pranzo e da tè. Favoloso! Molto grande anche la cantina. Consiglio di visitarlo acquistando i biglietti che comprendono anche la...

👍👍 A hidden gem in Bologna with amazing murals depicting Christianity and honoring the patron saint of musicians, Saint Cecilia, which reminded me of Simon & Garfunkel's iconic song, "Cecilia you are breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily, oh Cecilia I am down on my knees . . ."

Le Tre Frecce
Historical landmark
👍👍 It took me a whole day and an almost broken neck to find the third arrow. I recommend to go there by night because of the shadows that make it easier to spot the arrows. Your neck will thank you. Find the arrows on the picture attached. The third arrow looks different than the first two.

Boncompagni Palace
Historical landmark
👍👍 Palazzo stupendo, anche solo a giudicare dalla piccola porzione che mi è stato dato di visitare. D'altronde vi ha soggiornato un Papa, quello a cui dobbiamo il calendario gregoriano. Una delle scale elicoidali del Vignola si trova qui. Attualmente vi è allestita la mostra di Mimmo Paladino. I cavall...
