You Never Know … Street Photography

May 17 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F

You never know what you’re going to see when you venture out in Bologna on a Sunday Morning.

This morning, when I went to meet Mui at Piazza de’ Celestini, we were surprised to see a procession by the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church come through … around the corner from our apartment. I tried to find out more information about it, but nothing came of my research. Perhaps it was a prelude to further celebrations for their independence from Ethiopia … the anniversary is next week.

Then it was a wedding party in front of Palazzo d’Accursio … with a cute Fiat Cinquecento as the bridal vehicle; and a few other things that caught my eye … including an adorable little girl all dressed up in her finery … the color of her dress made me think she was part of the wedding party we had witnessed.

And, of course, there was some fun and interesting street art.Read more
