Bologna in August
Hello
I'm planning a trip to Bologna area 19-23 August.
I'm aware that Ferragosto is 15 August, and generally Italians use August as their Summer holiday break.
I intend to stay in Bologna City Centre 19-21 and then visit Villa Abbondanzi Resort in Faenza 21-23, where I'll relax poolside for the couple of days. I hope to have a lesuirely cycle to one or two wineries for a tasting and tour, and visit a restaurant and bars in Faenza.
I understand it will be roasting hot. I love the heat and sunshine, so no issue there. The pool will help me cool off!
My question is, at this particular time of the year, will:
A) Bologna City Centre
B) Faenza
be super quiet with lots of bars, restaurants and shops closed? Particularly Faenza, and the local places there, and also typically wineries? I guess Bologna has more chance of things being open.
Or being it's also tourist season, many places will still be open?
Thank you!
