My way to stay in Bologna!

by ludogatto - last update: Nov 11, 2008

A lot o f Vt members wrote about Bologna, the history, the cuisine and more.
I was born, I live and work there but I'm not the typical bolognese woman:
I’m 43, I have a 23 month's baby, I ride a motorbike, not a scooter, I’m not fashion victims, I don't go in the city centre to take an aperitif only to watch people and to been watched with the shining car.....but I like a glass of wine in a osteria in Partello street!
I love young people, I work with the young students of Bologna university and I know their money problems, I work with the childrens and the families, I work with immigrates, I prefer to spend and to share my time to do something good for my city and all the people that live there.

The bolognese cuisine is gorgeouse, I love to go dining outside, so I put in my Vt restaurant pages a lot of restaurant I personaly tasted
BolognaRestaurants
.....they are on my 'Agenda'....every week end I try some new place.....In the future I want to put some pages on my town cuisine so you can have an idea how to order...I will put some receipt too!
Matricole ( 1st year) students
Bologna have a big treasure: the oldest working university of the world.
It’s well known all over the world, its big, big, big…….a great part of the economy of the city is around the university: house to rent to the students, cultural events, nightlife, services, restaurants and shops and more.
The economic budget of the university is larger than that Comune di Bologna ( city Municipality).
From the star, the 500 old university was opened to students from all part of the country and world....so we are used to the foreigners and we stay in touch with them because we think that we can take good things from every culture and way of life.
In this last year, a part of Bologna people star to be more diffident to the immigrates, we live and work together, but I think they are a little bit scared to the mix we can create…..we love our traditions and probably someone think to loose it a little bit…..we need time to accept the other culture, not to make a strange mix, but to take the better from each other…Bologna is the best place to do it.
There are many beautiful projects, interculturals and traditionals, u can spend a night watching burattini show in our dialect (typical puppets) or have a laboratory of Taranta dance and Pizzica (puglia regional dance) or learn for free Arab language. U can find what u want…….
Bologna is culture, cuisine, red roofs and tower…but it’s also a city of friendly people that work a lot but know how to enjoy the life!!!
So in my tips I’d like to give particular infos, on special events, place to eat or things to do outside the traditional circuit,….like a Bologna people can do.
Go to Bologna in a Bolognese way…u are welcome!

 Thank you for the insight into this wonderful restaurant. I am a first time visitor to Italy, in Bologna on business and this was such an enjoyable, magnificent and friendly place. I would return there without hesitation. Your information is very helpful.
