A small piece of Provence in Bologna
Lavender Valley of Rodiano (Lavanda Val di Pozzo )
It is located just some
km from the city of Bologna and it is really interesting for those ones with
photographic interest. Azienda Agricola Val del Pozzo has started cultivating
lavender some years ago and they now produce oils and soaps to their visitors.
We went there on Sunday evening. Sadly there were no boards or signs with
indications so we had to stop several times in order to get the correct
direction from the people around. For this reason it took a while to reach the
place but was not difficult at all. At a certain point we had to leave our
vehicle, we walked about 1 km through the unpaved road until the valley. There
were plenty of people there! Some of them with ceremony dresses and shoes in
order to take a great profile picture for their Facebook page. So many
photographers taking pictures here and there. It had been a pleasant way to
spend a different evening. If you are living close to Bologna you
should visit this place during its flowering days which goes from the first to
the fifteenth of July.

The picture has so much of lavendar inside it. The blue colour automatically transports you to that flower. Is it the dog in the picture? It is looking at you so keenly, as if it wants to say something.
