Third Note: Bologna by night.

It is very late now in Italy, but I still wanted to write something.
Tonight I went out with some friends and we had one of the most (we had a typical Saturday night) typical Saturday night here in Bologna. Since Bologna has one of the oldest and most famous universities, lots of students come here from everywhere. And that’s why the city really comes alive during the night. You can go in the center of the city (when you go downtown you'll...) and you’ll find everybody just going around, taking a walk (walking) and just chatting with their friends.
Tonight was also a special night, completely dedicated to art. Museums and old buildings were open and we went to see an Andy Warhol exhibition. Then we just walked around for a bit, enjoying the lights and the night. I think Bologna really comes alive during the night and you can feel it in your veins. You can find artists and any sort of character in the medieval streets of the historical center.
If you get hungry, don’t worry, you can always get an ice-cream under the famous towers, even though it is still January. You are more of a salty kind of person? You can get french fries in a cone in the university area, the true core of the night life.
We didn’t really do much tonight, we mostly walked around, and met some friends, and chatted, but it was a typical Saturday night here in Bologna and, from someone who was born and raised here, it really felt like home. We had everything that makes Italy such a lovely country: art, food and friends.
