Silvia, Marco and Andrea were absolutely wonderful host! The Italian dinner we enjoyed at their home last night was very delicious, and it was made even more special by their teaching us how to prepare the tortellini. And picking us up and returning us to Bologna was especially accommodating. In short, they made us feel like we were a part of their family, and we are very appreciative for their hospitality and kindness.
