From Bergamo to Bologna, Tetti Rossi

Tetti rossi, Italy's abiding welcome.
We travel from Bergamo to Bologna.
Red hats popping up through the landscape, 
From the majestic Alps to the vast plains of the Po Valley.
Humble abodes, religious palaces, medieval villas,
All deserving of Tetti Rossi.
Bergamo Citta Alta, Portici di Bologna,
Tetti Rossi! 
Crafted from natural clay,
Terra, earth, Cotta, clay,
Laid by hand,
Overlapping beauty, decorative with elemental practicality,
Enduring, evocative, alluring, romantic,
Tetti Rossi.
