LOST IN Bologna Italy #13 4K ASMR ■ Not a vlog. Bologna Piazza Maggiore - Piazza Giuseppe Verdi - Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna walk on Thursday 30th January 2020. ■ Piazza Maggiore is a central square in Bologna, a region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The appearance in the 21st century generally reflects the layout from the 15th century. The Northwest corner opens into Piazza del Nettuno with its Fontana del Nettuno, while the Northeast corner opens into the narrower Piazza Re Enzo, running along the flanks of the Palazzo Re Enzo that merges with the Palazzo del Podestà. Flanking the Piazza del Nettuno is the Biblioteca Salaborsa. ■ Piazza Giuseppe Verdi. Student hot spot and social melting pot, go to Piazza Verdi for a unique Bolognaise experience. Sat halfway along the student street, Via Zamboni, Piazza Verdi is a hive of activity every day, thronging with students and bon vivants alike. Home to ‘La Scuderia’ Café, it is a natural meeting point and arguably the hub of ‘il giro di Bologna’, Bologna’s social scene, a constant cycle of events, concerts, markets, street performances and club nights. Besides the street parties and the cheap beer, however, Piazza Verdi is a fascinating social melting pot and offers a unique opportunity to see many different layers of Italian society overlap. The Piazza has been a home to students for centuries and has recently been adopted by the growing migrant population. There is also an almost constant police presence, partly due to the turbulent history of student activism in the area and also in an attempt to limit the activity of street vendors, some more clandestine than others, who frequent the Piazza. Piazza Verdi is flanked by bars on one side and by the Teatro Comunale di Bologna on the other, the city’s opera house. By day the Teatro sound system blares out classical music, contributing an unexpected flavor to the rugged Piazza. By night queues of theatre-goers gather outside, ties tightly knotted and shoes polished, mostly oblivious to the drumming and dancing in the opposite corner of the piazza just as the drummers are blind to them. Piazza Verdi quietly caters for everyone, from students to tourists to migrants to street vendors to theatre lovers to homeless people to partygoers, existing together in a bizarre harmony which is only occasionally disturbed by an exaggerated police presence.  To see Piazza Verdi at its best go between 7pm and 10pm. It will likely be full of people sitting on the floor drinking beer and chatting, perhaps a guitarist strumming a song. Later the atmosphere can sour slightly, however, every day in Piazza Verdi is slightly different and is undoubtedly worth experiencing. ■ Although the city of Bologna is located almost a hundred kilometers from the nearest sea, one of its most recognizable symbols, namely Neptune with its trident, is clearly related to water: so much so that, as far back as the 16th century, the Roman god of the sea was immortalized by the famous sculptor Giambologna in a gorgeous fountain still located in the eponymous Piazza del Nettuno, just next to the Piazza Maggiore main square. All of this should not come as a surprise. After all, even though it seems almost quaint now, during the Middle Ages the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region was a real “City of Water,” full of waterways and canals that ran through the heart of it. Most of the features that made Bologna look like a “Little Venice” have since disappeared, but fortunately enough a few of them still surface in unexpected locations. Let’s take a tour of the city’s secret corners to find out more about its past and present! The first place you should go if you are looking for the traces of the Bologna that used to be is undoubtedly Via Piella. Here, just a few steps away from the old city gate called Torresotto dei Piella (or Porta Govese), you can take the most charming glimpse over what’s left of Bologna’s “Little Venice” from a tiny window (finestrella) overlooking one of the few surviving canals. Even though other examples of the city’s “Piccola Venezia” may not be as visible as the lovely “finestrella di Via Piella,” there is definitely more to discover in this part of Bologna’s historic center. ■ Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna. World's oldest university in continuous operation and owning many of the city's historic buildings. The University of Bologna (Italian: Università di Bologna, UNIBO) is a research university in Bologna, Italy. Founded in 1088 by an organized guild of students (hence studiorum), it is the oldest university in the world, as well as one of the leading academic institutions in Italy and Europe. It is one of the most prestigious Italian universities, commonly ranking in the first places of national rankings. Route https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/emb...
