ABOUT:
Hi! I’m Valeria - a writer, content creator, and the visionary behind Dramatically Expatic. With a background in TV, where I hosted my own program (think a bit more formal than my current KZbin adventures), I now thrive on the dynamic and creative freedom of the web. As an expat in Italy for eight years and counting, I hold a BA in Theatre and Film Studies and an MSc in Media Organisation from the University of Bologna. I have always had a huge passion for discovering new places, having traveled all around the world since I was a child, so there were no second thoughts when searching for my niche. Here I share my best advice on visiting Italy, budget travel tips to Italy, and all things living in Italy entails!

Super wonderful gallery with those Christmas presents on the ceiling!

[@natiashavladze3634]

Lovely video 🤗🙏🧡 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎄🌟🥂💕

[@thefashiongoddesschannel8099]

Thank you so much! From Arizona, U.S.A. Time for Church!!

[@sylviamatthee8172]

I love the Christmas decorations in Bologna. Italians have good taste!

[@CaitlinConCuore]

I meant to comment on this back in December! I always love your very well made and delightful videos, but this one especially was such a treat for Christmas! It was a feast for the eyes-all the festive decor and sights around town-I enjoyed it so much! Thanks for helping us feel like we are there! 🎄🎅🏻🎁❤

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Oh thank you so much! It really means a lot ❤️

[@leogirlie33]

Love your videos and especially excited about this one! We are headed back to Bolonga for New Years (arriving on the 29 Dec) and I wonder - will those markets still be open thru the New Year? Thanks for taking us along! I've pinned several spots to my google maps. Happy Christmas to you from San Francisco.

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Oh this is awesome, enjoy your trip! Sadly, the two markets featured in the video are closed now, but you'll still be able to find the one in Piazza XX Settembre and the other one near the cathedral :)

[@pile333]

Yes, nativity scene setting up is used to be a nice way to entertain children during Christmas time. Artisanal panettone and pandoro are way more delicious than industrial one; better an artisanal one than three industrial ones (although many of them are pretty good). A few years ago, even in GDO, at Christmas an arm long cremino chocolate boxes were sold (a very huge cremino!); unfortunately in these last couple of years I haven't still found any of them!

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Oh that would be so dreamy!!!

[@pile333]

French food market in Bologna? Super nice!

[@valentinaodesskaya4186]

Супер!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@rakeshvelpula6804]

Very BEAUTIFUL 👍 👌

[@user-fh7js6ik9j]

👍👍👍💖💖💖

[@KaterinaFerrara]

Ciao. Is the French food market expensive? ❤grazie da Texas come sempre

[@PaoloCarboni]

Yes pretty expensive

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Hi, it's quite expensive to be honest, especially if you compare the prices of these products when bought directly in France 😬

[@alexanderwilliams6788]

Strange question perhaps but have local authorities done much to clean up the graffiti since the Porticoes were award UNESCO status?

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

To be honest, I haven't paid much attention! I'm not sure though 😅
