The view from San Luca Basilic on the hill

A city rich in art and Story, it is the most ancient university of the world. Bologna offers its visitors
incredible attractions and a stunning artistic heritage. The medieval old town is full of 16th century
medieval palaces, edifices and churches. Bologna is the city that has more arcades in the world: just over 40 km in the city center. It also has the longest arcade in the world: one that leads to St. Luke. It is a labyrinth made of many different architectural solutions, and that creates original and fascinating views and perspectives. With these scenes even an amateur can do a wonderful album of photos collection!
Bologna is located in the center-north of Italy, the main junction for all the links in the Peninsula, from North to South, and also in a International level, thanks to its airport. The city offers funs for all needs: disco, pubs, restaurants, library and bookstores; but you can also find comfort in nature, as it is in one of the greenest regions of the country. So participants will enjoy tasteful and natural food, from the nearby farmers.
This is why students and tourists from all the world every year choose Bologna!

The methodology is highly practical and concrete, evidence-based examples and experiences.
