RE: The Porticoes from Bologna 漫步博洛尼亞騎樓建築
That's some interesting trivia about gelato and the archways (Porticoes) in Bologna. Sam lived in Italy for 7.5 years and didn't know this - just thought it was the architecture and 'the style' those days.
Apparently the porticoes were quite common all over Italy but only Bologna regulated them and still kept them to date
They are common, but Sam just doesn't take any interest in their design and history. You think one would have some knowledge after living in Rome for 7.5 years. He would think 'it's just another archway' hahaha. Doesn't quite appreciate art and design as you do. Yet, he can talk to you about sports all day any day. Saying that he does like visiting art galleries and historical sites, so he's quite a mixed bag. Thanks again for the post. :)
