Left Turn



Madonna San Luca is a church on the top of a little mountain, which in order to get there you need to walk through 666 porticoes.

Over the weekend I set out with a friend to try to climb through the beautiful arches to San Luca. We started walking in the correct direction, however we ended up on a completely different road heading in a completely different direction after we had mistakenly taken a left at a fork in the road.

This wrong turn was very serendipitous in the end.

After walking for a little over an hour we arrived at some steps that lead up a hill. It was very picturesque with apple and pear trees and a breathtaking view at the top. Once at the top we realized that we ended up
behind San Luca.


Even though the walk outside of Bologna was long and did not bring us to our planned destination, it was more than worth the adventure, and now this week we will try to actually make it to Madonna San Luca
