True. Just to clarify: I am a blonde Italian like many others and in Italy we are not considered "cool" (brown-haired women are the favorite of many Italian men) People were looking at you for the camera 😉
I come from Switzerland and have traveled large parts of Italy by train. Bologna is very beautiful, the first university in Europe was founded there and you eat very well there.
@@arnauuu1 Fondue and raclette are very traditional, then hash browns. But there is a lot more. Switzerland is very international, so we eat all kinds of things.
I did a solo trip to Italy in 2017 and visited Milan, Bologna, Rome, Naples, and Positano. Bologna was the city that I left which I had the best connection with. The food was the best in Italy by far! Prices weren't outrageous like in Milan, Rome and Positano- the people were exceptionally kind, and personally I never felt a hint of danger while I was there. Naples was also unreal, even though it gets a bad rap around Italy. The city flies by the seat of its pants on a daily basis and is quite unpredictable, but if you want an eye opening classic Italian experience, go to Naples. I stayed near "Via Duomo". Highly recommend to anyone who is on the fence about Naples.
You didn't chose very well, the best in Italy are actually the small italian cities in the north. Try Sirmione, Trento, Verona, Padova, Venice, Udine, Parma, Firenze or also you can go outside of Italy to experience the "ex Italy" or the territories that Italy lost during the years but are still quintessentially italian like Rovigno in Istria or Nice in France.
Naples doesn’t represent the classic Italy at all… Rome and Florence do. Naples represent Naples, it’s a unique city with a unique mentality and maybe other cities in Calabria region can relate. The other regions in southern italy are also very different, Naples is particularly caotic for italians too… it’s Naples
@@francesca_415 Yea i see what you're saying, and you're obviously correct. I'm Canadian, so when we see Italy in movies or on TV, a lot of it is Naples driven, if that makes sense. So the idea of Italy in my head is based around what I had seen in my childhood. So to me, I felt like I had finally arrived in Italy. But like I said, you are correct, even the Neapolitans didn't call themselves Italian, they always referred to themselves as Neapolitans. "Classic" was the wrong terminology.
Dude, you took a church tower bell for “one of the two towers” :) Canals weren’t used for wheat and grains transportations but just to push wheel-mills for many different craftings. Bologna is not famous for Parmigiano Reggiano :) But you found the Coldiretti market (with yellow tents) that was good. Ceccarelli butcher shop too.

Hi, people were not starig at you because they never seen a blond before, (that is ridicolous since some italians are blond as well) but because you were with a camera and talking in english, clearly recognizible as tourist. Also if you go in places with high migrants density you will not find many italians lol
@@willtherealgeorgemichaelpl5879 He clearly thinks that Italians are foreign tourists and that immigrants are Italians :) It doesn't matter, since you can't get the right opinion about a people in a simple trip.
Parmigiano reggiano isn’t from bologna, like the name suggests it’s from Parma and Reggio-Emilia. Tortellini, bolognese sauce (ragù), lasagna, mortadella (what Americans call bologna) are typical Bologna dishes 😅 also they’re definitely used to see “blondies” around as many people in northern Italy are blond..they probably looked a you funny cause of the selfie stick
He loves those places, the other day he was in the middle of nowhere looking for crocodiles in Mexico. He loves the sense of adventure. Very much like Crocodile Dundee remember? Getting into bad areas without having a clue!
Parmesan cheese is a specialty of Parma (not too far from Bologna, actually), in Bologna you should order tagliatelle (which you did), tortellini, lasagne, crescentine, tigelle...
@@Andrew14783 This is unclear, since it appeared in some Medieval documents of a couple of abbeys between the modern provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia. But besides determining the precise birthplace of this cheese, one thing is for sure: Parmesan cheese is NOT a speciality of Bologna, therefore my correction is more than justified.
@@nicolanobili2113 Parmigiano Reggiano originates from the foothills of Bibbiano, currently in the province of Reggio Emilia. The fact that this area was for a long time, under the direct control of the Duchy of Parma, meant that there were obvious future repercussions in terms of visibility and belonging. Nobody denies the origin of the many Parma products including ham, culatello, shoulder of S. Secondo, etc. Not the cheese though ..
@@Andrew14783 Thank you for your explanation. Actually, I read that Bibbiano is one of the two potential birthplaces of Parmesan cheese, I can't remember the other one, but it's in the current province of Parma. The point is: there are few documents dating back to that time, it is hard to determine which is the oldest and in any case there might be other places where that kind of cheese was created even before that, without leaving any written evidence. It doesn't matter much, though: in the video, the author said that the cheese is a speciality from Bologna and, although Bologna is one of the few places where this cheese is legally produced even today, it is safe to say that it was a mistake.
I was very suprised about the graffiti… I visited the city a few days ago and it kinda killed the vibe but it was still mindblowing ancient building. In Estonia you get like a few thousand fee id you to illegal graffiti on buildings. I hope the same law will be in Italy also.
Your camera looks kinda funny that's why people staring at you all the time. As well as it looks funny when someone's talking into a camera like there's someone there.
