Re: Bologna factory next week! (alowishus)
ciao alowishus -
as others have advised, make sure to leave plenty of time ... you will really enjoy both the factory tour and the musuem. after the factory tour, they allow you to shop in the factory discount store ... great bargans to be had, so bring your wallet
for the tours, make sure you can get one of the english speaking guides, if english is your primary language .... alex corazza used to work on tours and is excellent at english, but now he works in the DOC, so i don't know how many english speaking guides they have at present.
i will be arriving at the factory on may 27th, so i might see you there
also, for food near the factory, you HAVE to eat at cafe stella, just down the street from the factory. ask any of the factory employees, and they can direct you. the best food in bologna, and very well priced.
ciao,
