La Piccola Venezia

About

Finestrella di Via Piella – also known as La Piccola Venezia – is a picturesque spot where a small canal and a narrow archway create a Venice‑in‑Bologna illusion. Located just beyond Porta Govese, the walkable waterway, the Canal delle Moline, leads out to the Via di Garibaldi and reflects the city’s historic connection to the Reno River. The view offers an intimate glimpse of the city’s medieval architecture from the perspective of brick facades and waterway reflections, delivering an enchanting urban landscape that feels like a mini port of Venice’s canals. Visitors can stroll along the Pont du Canal, explore the nearby private gardens, and enjoy panoramas of the surrounding city and riverside scenery. The site is free to access at any time of day, making it a casual, must‑stop for photo‑lovers, history enthusiasts, and casual wanderers alike.
