Italy: Finestrella of Via Piella in Bologna by Carlo Vergani
Passing under Porta Govese or Torresotto dei Piella you reach the famous Finestrella on the Canale delle Moline and the bridge over the canal, both overlooking. This corner of the city is known as "little Venice". Looking out between the buildings, you can see one of the few stretches of water flowing that between the early twentieth century and the post-war period was not covered with asphalt. The Moline canal is the continuation of the Reno canal. For a good part of its itinerary, the Moline canal is enclosed between the houses, as you can see from the Finestrella, and for this reason it remained hidden from view for a long time in the past. The views of the bridges of via Oberdan and Via Malcontenti have recently been reopened, alongside the suggestive window of via Piella.
