Via Clavature, Bologna

Via Clavature is my favourite street in Bologna. It is a narrow street, departing from the main square- Piazza Maggiore- and arriving in one of the main streets in central Bologna, Via Castiglione.






Via Clavature is probably 300 meters long - but in such a limited length there is everything one could wish for. Shops selling handicraft objects like this shop below that sells baskets and household articles...


fruit and vegetables stalls....



Fish shops...


Clothes...

Flower shops...




but my favourite shop ever is a small old bakery- Monterumisi Bakery- , which has been run for 75 years by the same family....as soon as you step inside the shop the owner welcomes you with a loud "BUON GIORNO" (Good morning) and an instant later you find yourself choosing among homemade pizzas, "mele al cartoccio con crema "(apples wrapped in a sweet pastry and filled with the best cream ever), tortellini, homemade pasta, cookies, cakes...the average expenditure is never less than 10-15 euro because it is impossible to resist the temptations to buy more than needed!! Go and vist this shop if you have the chance, it is worth and it's always money well spent!


Look at the proud owner!
