- toyg 5y agoIn Centrale o in Bolognina? "Fun" areas... I grew up in what was then called la Pescarola (Zanardi / Marco Polo / Agucchi).
- grokys 5y agoNope, I know from experience that peeing in public is very common in piazzas in the center at night because everyone is driving beer and the are no public facilities and bars generally have a single (often filthy) toilet for all their customers to share :) But that's different. This was near Lunetta Gamberini in broad daylight :) To be fair it's not something I've seen since.
- toyg 5y agoBologna can be weird. I remember speaking with someone who'd spent his military service there, and his first words where "such a dirty and criminal city". That's not what the stats say or what the classic image of the city is (nor what my experience generally was, growing up there), but obviously stats are not the full picture and heaven does not exist.
