In this second installment of her summer travel series, host Sue explores Bologna, Italy, through the lens of change: what’s been lost, what’s evolving, and what’s quietly coming back to life. From canals hidden in plain sight to climate-smart wines and startup-driven food innovation, this episode is a personal yet critical look at how a historically rich city navigates the friction between preservation and progress.

You'll hear: why tourism in Bologna feels both helpful and heartbreaking, how traditional Italian cuisine is being reimagined—and sometimes resisted, how ancient canals are being restored to protect the city from climate risks, and what a difference a decade makes in the wine list.

This is a short, thoughtful journey through a city at a crossroads—one where history and the future are having lunch at the same table.
