    Via Zamboni and Piazza
    Verdi at the end
    by ludogatto
    A lot of ancient building of this area are center of the different faculty of the most ancient university still in activity. Via Zamboni is cut in two from Piazza Verdi on which the are the Comunale Theatre.

    Via Zamboni, Largo Respighi, Via delle Moline and the nearby little street are the heart of the university of Bologna day and night. In this area u can find any kind of facility for the students but also a lot of nightlife place, like pub, reaturant, take away, lounge bar, live cafè,.......It's nice walking in the street watching people, taking a bear and stending outside talking with friend. I was a student but I stil go there for the relaxed atmosphere and everytime u can meet old and new friends.
    Unfortunately where there are young people, there are some problems cause not all the people are civil or good persons.....so in the last year Piazza Verdi and the nearby is the meeting point of pusher selling smoke. There are alway a police car there to preserve, but there are also drunked or druged people sitting under the Comunale theatre 'portici'.
    This is a big problem but I want to say that u have to spend some hours in this quarter, day and night, in the summer there are jazz concerts, street performances and it's nice walk there drinking a bear or eating some fast food, relaxed.....no problems for your safe, is like in all the crowded area in the world.

    Bologna is the most ancient University town of the world. For more information, click here. Almost all faculties are in Via Zamboni, which begins right by the two towers.
    Pictures shown the faculty of law, where I study. The building is called "Palazzo Malvezi".

    The foundation of the Medical School of the Bologna University was a rather longer lasting process. The beginning goes back to the year 1063. The title teacher appeared after the year 1170, while such a title could have been obtained by the church authorities since 1179. The city statutes for medicine date back to the year 1378.

    Bologna has the oldest University in Europe, founded in 1088. Most of the university buildings are located in Via Zamboni (from the two towers left). IT's an area with a lot of pubs, pizzerias and cafés, and for its very lively, since it's a meeting point for all students. Typical of this area are also all posters you find all over searching or offering rooms, selling or buying something, or promoting any kind of event or party! Anyway the zone is quite dirty and there are a lot of tramps and weird people, so it's not a good zone to hang out alone at night. And BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS!!!

  • Walk around the city and experience the energy of the people. Although the weather was terrible, the market was busy and musicians still managed to entertain the crowds from sheltered corners.
    With so many University students located in Bologna, the vibe is young and energetic. Music is played in the streets and laughter can be heard vibrating amongst the medieval buildings. I really wanted to stay for the evening but couldn't due to a train strike.

    University: Palazzo Poggi
    aliante1981
  • By aliante1981 on December 13, 2003
  • Bologna Page by aliante1981
  • Palazzo Poggi, or Poggi Palace, on the Via Belmeloro, has been the central administrative seat of the University of Bologna (one of the most important in Italy) since year 1803, though the building itself is several centuries older.

    The construction of the palace was ordered by the Cardinal Giovanni Poggi (hence the name) and completed during the 1549 – 1556 time span. Quite a short one, I thought, by the building standards of the Middle Ages.

    Inside, there are interesting (though not most colourful) frescoes by Pellegrino Tibaldi, depicting the series of ancient legends about Ulysses. Strange, because during those years most frescoes were not secular, but religious in nature & subject…

    The Poggi palace also houses several of the University museums, but I guess that is the topic of other tips…

    Anatomy was a great and traditional commitment for its teachers. Although the ethic-religious rules prohibited the dissection of corpses, it was a frequent secret practice.

    Precise anatomical descriptions found in Guglielmo da Saliceto surgical text books bear witness to this practice.

    Visit the Nat'l Library in Bologna. The Anatomy Theater is fascinating. There's a table in the center for the cadavres and a statue "stripped" down to the muscles. The whole building, part of a medieval university, is interesting with student coats of arms painted on the ceilling and beautiful architectural details.
