A calm Sunday in Bologna

 Buona Domenica!  Sunday was a day of wandering around and enjoying the calm groove of the city.  It is a day for a long passegiatta, followed by a long pranzo, followed by a nap.  We decided to visit MAMba, the modern art museum.  Like the other museums we visited, it focuses on Bologna artists of the late 19th century to today.  I would actually call most of it contemporary art...and I would even go so far as to say there is some merde that somehow found favor in the curator's eye, but there was a wing dedicated to Bologna's own, Giogio Morandi, who did some interesting impressionist and post-impressionist stuff:

Notice how we tried to break down an image into simple forms.  His palette was mostly rich neutrals.  It's cool.  It reminds me of Cezanne's groove.

There was a room dedicated to revolution in art/society.  It included this huge painting featuring all the famous socialists of history.  The red is nice.  

And if you know your history, you can pick out some of the more well-known commies... like Lenin:

I'm a cake-eater, I must admit, so off to a ristorante for this girl:

A lunch of tortellini in brodo, prosciuto with melon, veal, and a cottoletta, all Bolognese specialties:

And then a long stroll back to the apartamento.  Enjoying the sights and sounds of the street happenings.  Perhaps only in Italia do you get this:

A presto!
