My city Hi, I'm a graduate student who lives in Pisa. The city is not too big and is obviously famous for the Leaning Tower, or better in italian "La Torre Pendente". Pisa has a great history, indeed it was one of the four Marittime Republics; nevertheless today there is no sea, because in the past 1000 year it retreat 10 km from the city. Now there is only the river , "l'Arno", which flows through the city. Life in Pisa is very quite. Driving cars in the center is forbidden, so for people like me who lives there, doesn't exist the classical noise city problem. University here is big and deployed on all the city (several faculties are in very different place); this makes Pisa very different from the other cities in which usually there is a Campus whit its University. Than Pisa is a place full of students from all the places of Italy and also of other countries, expecially thanks to the Erasmus Project. Thanks for reading this and my advise is to visit Pisa if you have the possibility. Bye!
