VACATION

By: Ben | January 7th, 2009

Above is a hot bowl of tortellini in broth, a classic Bolognese dish made with the loving hands of my mother in law. It may be the winter break here in Bologna yet the enthusiasm is high for our salvation. The majority are in agreement that it is the firm hand of Mihajlovic that is to thank yet there is also the dubious general consensus that he is in fact “a very bad man”(the reasons for which I am not entirely sure except for his past racial intolerance).
Every cafe, bar, or store I enter I am first approached by a supporter at the sight of the red and blue stripes on my hat, secondly confronted for my choice of wearing my wife’s colors of Sampdoria around my neck, and lastly we exchange adjectives for the great Di Vaio and the certainty of remaining in the Serie A.
In any case the city is in a state of hopeful contentment following the Christmas, New Year and Epiphany celebrations. It’s back to business both for city and team and next on the ladder to security is Chievo.
