Originally it was meant to be a short half-day out around Bologna, but an accidental visit to the Biblioteca Comunale di Imola (BIM) and an excellent dinner at the Osteria del Vicolo Nuovo da Rosa e Ambra made the day.
The ceiling and the walls of the staircase of the library have been beautifully painted by using the trompe l'oeil technique make it look like richly sculptured vault and fresco. And some computers in the library were running on a Linux-based operating system.
The Osteria del Vicolo Nuovo da Rosa e Ambra (also an Enoteca) was featured in the Guide "Osterie D'Italia" (Slow Food Editore 2010). Running by a group of women (Rosa and/or Ambra are members of female sommelier association), the deco of the Osteria is very feminine (but not in a lustily sexy way) and homely. The food was excellent (all pasta were hand-made). They also served tap water (which is very rare in Italian restaurants or eating places), and encouraged you to take the unfinished bottle home. Strongly recommended.
