It's a strange winter. A hot one.
No snow, some rainy days and fog, a lot of fog, of course.

But this is not a blog about weather forecasting so with this photo report, I'd like to remember what happened in February 2012, when Bologna was completely white.
In 2 days the city was covered by a white blanket for the joy of children and photographers.
My friend Andrea Forni is one of them and here you can enjoy the result of his reportage.
