23 Oct 2021 | Bologna> saw another apartment this morning... think we're more or less done w/ our house hunting, pretty much decided 2 not make a decision... Bologna is more expensive than we thought, specially 4 what u get + still not so sure we'd want to live here FT, at least not in the north, better 2 do just do what we're doing + stay in short-term rentals the semesters our bedder-½ is teaching here > we got a good idea of the current housing market here tho > then walked up in2 the hills above giardino margerhita > had faro/bean soup w/ puntarelle salad + watched Soy Cuba (1964)(★★★★★) which had sum of the most amazing cinematogrphy ever, wide angle + infrared w/ crazily assembled shots that seemed impossible w/o drones or CGI or advanced cranes... too bad it's a Russian-made communist propaganda film > followed that up by re-watching Suspira (Argento's original)(★★★★) just cuz Halloween's coming 24 Oct> aptly enough (4 our bedder-½) the V Biennale Foto/Industria theme this year is FOOD + is spread across 12 spaces in Bologna so this morning we walked way out 2 MAST 2 check out the main exhibit which was about industrial design + photography (mostly by Ando Gilardi) > walked back 2 il centro 2 MAMBO (Bologna's modern art museum) + saw an exhibit by Jan Groover which 4 the most part wasn't so intresting > had lunch at Osteria Bartolini, getting twards the end of October + still eating outside in T-shirts > then figured next we'd perambulate Porta Santo Stefano, or the area between Sto Stefano + Porta Castiglione, which we did a few days ago, stopping on the way @ Palazzo Pepoli Campogrande 2 check out an exhibit by Lorenzo Vitturi... the coolest thing about this Foto/Indsturia FOOD exhibit is that u get 2 go in all these palaces + event spaces (all 4 free) that u might not otherwise get a chance 2 > 1 of the above bldgs houses sum sort of anarchist society + the other was until recently the seat of transfeminist, lesbian, queer + punk collectives |
