    Hi,
    I'm planning to spend a couple of weeks motoring around Northern Italy at the start of September and part of it will involve a night or two in Bologna.

    Can anyone recommend somewhere / a hotel where I can park a 355 safely?

    I'll also greatly appreciate any tips from anyone about other places to visit. My rough plan is to drive over the Alps from Switzerland, probably to Maranello but then I'll have a couple of days to kill in that area before (possibly) heading to Monza for the GP then over to Bologna... I'm planning to head north to the lakes after Bologna.

    Grazie!

    Scuderia Ferrari Club Mirabello Monferrato hosts a nice Ferrari Raduno (gathering) every Fall. This year our event is on 14 September. The tiny town of Mirabello Monferrato is roughly halfway between Turin and Milan. We attract more than 50 Ferraris each year.

    It's a very low key event. We gather in the main plaza, look at the cars, and then make a short tour to a nearby restaurant where we eat an extended lunch. The cost for lunch is low, the food and wine are great, and the people are friendly.

    If you're still in the area on the 14th, plan to join us. It's definitely not a concours, so bring your Ferrari even if it's covered with bugs. Ask for the American; I'm the only one.

    Hi Carlo
    Grazie mille! Hotel Roma looks like it could be a good choice.

    Bologna - San Lazzaro di Savena, 40068
    Italy
    Tel.: +39 051 625 54 91
    Fax: +39 051 499 81 01

    Ciao

    Be careful when driving in Bologna there are some area(s) / street(s) that you are not allowed to drive in /on without clearance. If the Hotel is in the area(s) you will end up with a fine if the Hotel does not register your car with the Police.

    For future reference the APCOA car park at Piazza viii Agosto was fine overnight and only €20.

    There was also this abandoned 348 there, under a tarpaulin. Anyone know the story?
