Apparently Borsalino wanted Dante to sell their hats and he refused. Borsalino opened a store literally a block and a half away... You do the math.

Bologna:

These are awsome pic! and I see more hats that I want than I could ever afford, but is it just me do the plaid cloth hats stick out like a sore thumb? especially the one that looks like the plastic table cloth I use on my pic nic table?

No kidding! those rain hats are hideous!. Pizza place table cloth, you got that one right!

Editing some pics, why not bumping this thread, right?

Thanks for the tour. I enjoyed it. I lived in Italy for a while many years ago on the Amalfi coast. I agree with you about the Italians' friendliness and warmth. They have a very appealing life style.
