BOLOGNA
the city center Bolognas historical center is surrounded by a ring-road (the viale), which traces the path of the 14th century medieval city wall. The wall was torn down at the turn of the 20th century, though some parts of it are still intact. Mostly all of the walls 12 gates (the porta) are still standing or have been restored. The gates are used today for access into the city center and are named after the main streets: Porta Castiglione, Porta Saragozza, Porta Mascarella, etc. Piazza Maggiore is Bolognas main square. Here you will find the Basilica di San Petronio (Bolognas patron saint), the municipal building, a 24hr pharmacy, a picturesque open-air food market (just off to the left if facing the Basilica), the public library Sala Borsa, the Neptune Fountain (a popular meeting point), the Palazzo Re Enzo (a 13th century kings palace and prison), and the tourist office (for maps, gifts, theater tickets, event information, etc.). The University buildings are dispersed throughout the center but most of the departments, offices and libraries are in Via Zamboni. Other university streets include Via Mascarella, Via Belle Arti, Via Belmeloro, Via delle Moline, Via Centotrecento, Via Irnerio.

HOW TO COMMUNICATE......
CELL PHONES The four main cellular companies in Italy are: TIM 119 (customer service number) www.tim.it Via Indipendenza 19 Via delle Moline 22/A/B Wind 155 www.wind.it Via Irnerio 8 Piazza della Mercanzia 6/E-6/F Via Indipendenza 41 Tre 133 www.tre.it Via Indipendenza 1 Via Irnerio 10 Via Marconi 77/2

Vodafone 190 www.vodafone.it Via Ugo Bassi, 21/H-L Via Irnerio 23 Via Indipendenza 25/A

RECHARGEABLE CELL PHONE CARDS Pay-as-you-go calling cards are sold at cell phone stores, newsstands and tabacchi. They can usually be purchased in various amounts from 10 and up. MAKING CALLS WITH YOUR CELL PHONE OUTSIDE OF ITALY If you travel outside of Italy, you should put a significant amount of credit towards your calls before leaving. Your Italian provider will automatically switch to a local provider when you enter another country, but credit can run out quickly since calls and texting will cost more due to roaming charges. Some cell phone companies have designed plans with more economical rates for customers who want to use their cell phones while travelling (for example: Tim Senza Confini, Wind Easy Travel Europa, Vodafone Passport). You would have to check if these types of international plans can be added to your national plan and what countries they are valid in. CALLING THE U.S. FROM ITALY AND RECEIVING CALLS IN ITALY FROM THE U.S. Calls to the U.S. from Italy with a cell phone usually cost around .50 or .60 eurocents a minute, with an additional charge (usually about .15/.20 eurocents, depending upon your plan) when the receiver picks up the call. If you receive calls from the U.S. on your cell phone you will be charged, and the amount/ minute will depend upon your calling plan. Most students use Skype (or Skype Out), Gmail videochat, etc., to make international calls home. To make international calls dial: 00+country code+ local area code+ local phone number. For example, to call the United States, you would dial 00+1+the local area code+the phone number. To receive a call from the U.S., the person calling you must dial: 011+39+cell phone number, or, for land lines, 011+39+area code+local number. 39 is Italys country code. 051 is Bolognas area code. To find information such as Italian area codes or zip-codes go to www.comuni-italiani.it .

EMERGENCY NUMBERS The Italian equivalent of 911 is 118. The main Italian emergency numbers that you should memorize in your cell phone are: 112 Local police (Carabinieri) 113 Police/ambulance (Polizia di stato/ambulanza) 115 Fire department (Vigili del fuoco) 118 Medical emergency-ambulance (ambulanza) Even if youve run out of credit on your cell phone, you can still call the emergency numbers. Other useful emergency and/or non-emergency numbers: 051 266 626 Vigili urbani (to report noise, illegal activity, loitering) 051 640 1111 Bologna police station (Questura di Bologna) 06 46741 US Embassy in Rome* 055 266 951 US Consulate Florence (Lungarno Vespucci, 38, Florence)* 800 250 101 Gas or water problems (HERA) 800 900 806 Electricity problems (ENEL) 800 218 489 or Farmacie di turno (for pharmacies open after hours; updated lists are also 800 547 454 posted outside of pharmacies) http://www.farmacieaperte.it/ 051 31 31 Guardia Medica (to find a general doctor available at night or during the weekend for NON-URGENT medical problems. See the chapter on Medical Services for emergency room information.)
*The U.S. Consulates General in Italy have also created a Facebook page to provide students with general information. To visit and join, search: American Citizen Services for US College Students in Italy.

INTERNET / E-MAIL
WIRELESS INTERNET PROVIDED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF BOLOGNA AND THE CITY (IPERBOLE) Wireless internet is available in the BCSP office. You will also find that many students apartments have ADSL or wi-fi connections. Shortly after arriving in Bologna, you will receive a packet from the University of Bologna with information about the university, including your libretto for recording grades. One of the information sheets will include your UNIBO e-mail address and password. The first time you access your account you need to change the password. Wherever wireless is available, connect to the wi-fi labeled IPERBOLE_WIRELESS. After connecting, try to access any site and you will be re-directed to a log-in page. Type in your username and new password, click on the option Studenti and click log on. A new window should come up that says you are connected and how much time you have remaining. You have an allotment of 3 hours daily.

MAIL

Post offices in Bologna are open from 8:00 am to 1:30 pm Monday through Friday and from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday. The central post office in Piazza Minghetti and the post office in Via Grimaldi (off via Lame) are open from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm (but on Saturday only from 8:00 am to 12.30 pm). To look up a specific post office in any Italian city for exact location and hours go to www.poste.it/. Stamps and envelopes can be purchased at any post office or tabaccheria. If you send a package with Poste Italiane, you will need to purchase a yellow Poste Italiane box. Other boxes, especially if they have brand names or images on them, will be rejected at the post office. Avoid the post office if you are sending letters and cards. Simply go a tabaccheria, have your envelope weighed, and purchase the stamps directly from the tabaccaio. Envelopes of various dimensions can also be purchased at stationary stores. Mail boxes are located outside post offices and often outside the tabaccherie. Each box has two slots, one Per la citt (local), while the other is Per tutte le altre destinazioni (other destinations). Some postal terms: Terms for letters Posta Prioritaria = priority mail ( 1,60 to send a letter to the U.S.) Posta Raccomandata = registered mail Posta Assicurata = insured mail Postacelere 1 plus = urgent, next day (Mon-Fri) delivery of documents up to 3kg within Italy Terms for packages Paccocelere 1 plus = urgent, next day (Mon-Fri) delivery of packages within Italy Paccocelere Internazionale = express shipping up to 30kg Pacchi per lestero = ordinary shipping by air or by boat Pacco raccomandato= tracks your package within in Italy but not once it leaves the country You can have your mail sent directly to the BCSP office, rather than to your apartment, if you prefer.

The correct mailing address is: STUDENTS NAME c/o Indiana University - BCSP Via Malcontenti 3 40121 Bologna Italy

(If necessary for shipment you can provide the BCSP office number or your cell phone number. BCSP office tel. +39 051 236486)

Important information for having packages sent from the U.S. to Italy:

Remind your family not to send cash. Each item must be described accurately. Avoid insuring shipments. Take new items or gifts out of original packaging to make them seem used. Do not ship cosmetics, lotions or other sanitary products as they may be subject to costly customs controls. Avoid shipping foodstuffs. Packaged, sealed foods may make it through customs if packaged with other non-food items. 6

Provide an estimated value for each item. Items estimated at 22 or less will most likely not be taxed. Contents estimated between 22 and 150 will most likely be taxed at 21% of their value. Additional customs taxes may be applied to any shipment. Even used photocameras and computers may be taxed. The best way to avoid customs costs is to buy what you need in Italy, whenever possible. Use an international courier service to ensure fast delivery to Italy with a tracking number. The tracking number allows you to trace the shipment. Customer service numbers for major US couriers in Italy are: 199 151 119 02 30 30 30 39 FedEx UPS

Italian food is so good yet so simple. All risotto is, is rice in a frying pan while stirring in broth very slowly and youve got 5 star quality food. Collin, 2010-2011

ACCESSING YOUR MONEY

Bank hours in Italy Banks are open Monday-Friday from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm and usually in the afternoon from 2:40 pm to 4:10 pm (opening times in the afternoon may vary from bank to bank so its better to check in advance). Withdrawing money from an ATM The most convenient way to retrieve money from your home bank account is by using one of the many Bancomat (ATMs) in various locations throughout the city. You can withdraw cash with Cirrus cards as well as with credit cards, such as Visa and Mastercard. Look for the stickers on the bancomats to know if the machine accepts Cirrus transactions or your credit card. Usually the major Italian banks will have these options, such as: UniCredit, Intesa Sanpaolo, Monte dei Paschi di Siena, Carisbo, Banca di Bologna. Since most banks charge a service fee for each international ATM transaction, it makes sense to withdraw the largest amount available at one time, rather than make more frequent withdrawals of lesser amounts. Daily withdrawal limits will vary according to bank; some permit withdrawals of 250 per day, others up to 500 per day. Immediately notify your bank if you lose your ATM or credit card. Save the international customer service numbers in your cellphone and keep a photocopy of the cards. It is a good idea to have a backup ATM card or credit card with cash advance service so that you do not risk remaining without money. Make sure to keep your pin numbers separate from your card and wallet. You could memorize them in your cell phone under a secret name. Currency exchange Any of the following post offices in the city center will exchange dollars/euros and vice versa: Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8:30am-13:30pm. Sat 8:30am-12:30pm. Piazza dellOtto Agosto, 24- the post office closest to the BCSP office Via Cairoli, 9 Strada Maggiore, 82 The Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena in via Rizzoli allows foreign students to send bank wires (at a reasonable commission charge) without having a bank account. This service is useful for whoever needs to Currency may also be exchanged at the train station in pay rent through a bonifico bancario. Piazza Medaglie dOro at the Forexchange counter, open 8:30am-8pm Mon-Sat, except for Dec 25th and Jan 1st. Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8am-6:30pm. Sat 8am-12:30pm. Piazza Minghetti - Bolognas main central post office Via Grimaldi, 6 There are three different currency exchange possibilities all on the ground floor at the Bologna airport: Post office Carisbo bank, open Mon-Sat 7:30am-6:30pm Travelex, open everyday from 6am-10pm (also sells international calling cards and Italian cell phone provider pay-as-you-go cards) Urgent money transfers You can use Western Union (no bank account necessary) to send cash from the U.S. to Italy or vice versa. The transfer is immediate as money is sent from a Western Union location to another Western Union location. Banks usually require more processing time for international money transfers.

TRAVEL & TRANSPORTATION

BUS
ATC Azienda Trasporti Comunali www.atc.bo.it Tel. 051 290 290 You can buy tickets, get free bus maps or ask for information about any bus route at any of the ATC information offices located around Bologna: Via IV Novembre 16/A (near Piazza Maggiore) Piazza Medaglie dOro (at the train station) Piazza XX Settembre (at the Via Marconi and Via Lame intersection) Bus tickets may also be purchased at the tabaccherie and at some newsstands. You must validate your ticket as soon as you board the bus by inserting the ticket in the white ticket machine at the front or the back of the bus. Some buses (but not all of them- indication is on the outside of the bus) have red ticket machines that allow you to purchase a 1-hour ticket on board. The red ticket machines only accept exact change. The bus driver does not provide tickets or change, except for the BLQ airport bus. If by chance the ticket machines are not working, notify the driver. Controllori (ATC inspectors) board buses at random to make sure all passengers have a valid ticket. If youre caught without a valid ticket, you will be fined (up to 150). The inspectors will ask to see your passport or permesso di soggiorno in order to write up the ticket, or verbale. Fines will have a deadline indicated on the verbale, and they can be paid at any of the ATC information offices listed above. Late fines are subject to additional fees. Types of tickets (for bus rides within Bolognas urban area): Orario - 1,20 purchased at an ATC office, tabaccheria, newsstand, or 1,50 purchased on board with exact change valid for 1 single ride of 60min and you can transfer to different buses within the hour. Giornaliero - 4,00 valid for 24 hours from the first validation (The ticket needs to be validated just once, at the beginning of the first bus ride.) City Pass - 11 valid for 10 rides each ride 60 min. long each time you get on the bus you must validate the pass. The City Pass is impersonal; therefore, if you are traveling with 4 friends, you can validate the City Pass 4 times, as if you each had 4 separate tickets. Aerobus Percorso Centrale (or Corsa Semplice) - 3,00 valid for a single 60min ride within city limits. Aerobus BLQ 6,00 - valid for a single 60 min. ride to or from the airport. Impersonale Studenti 27,00 - monthly ticket. Must be validated just once at the beginning of the first ride and remains valid until the last day of the month (for example: you buy the ticket Oct 1, you validate the ticket Oct 1, the ticket expires Oct 31. Or you buy the ticket Oct 15, you validate the ticket Oct 15, the ticket expires Oct 31.) You must show ATC your UNIBO student ID card or other proof (i.e. libretto universitario) that you are a student in order to obtain this type of ticket. Each time you board the bus, you need to have this proof of student identity with you in case the controllori check tickets. Bus schedules Most buses run until 1:00 am. Schedules are posted at bus stops or on the ATC website. Hours are different for weekdays, feriali, and weekends/holidays, festivi.

Bus etiquette A few seats are reserved in the front of all buses for senior citizens and the disabled. If you are sitting in one of these marked seats and see an elderly or disabled person board the bus, it is respectful to move to another seat or stand. You may see younger people on the bus offer their seats to the elderly, disabled or women accompanied by children. You should board the bus from the front or back doors. The middle doors are for getting off the bus. You may have to make an exception to the rule when the bus is extremely crowded and it becomes impossible to move closer to the exit doors. Beware of pickpockets on crowded buses and keep an eye on your belongings!!

TAXI

051 372 727 - COTABO 051 45 90 - CAT 051 519 090 - COSEPURI / Auto blu (because the taxi is dark blue rather than the typical white car) There will be an extra surcharge if you call a taxi to pick you up. You can also go directly to a taxi stand. There are several stands throughout the city (Piazza Maggiore, the train station, Piazza Malpighi, Via Santo Stefano at the corner of via Guerazzi, via Indipendenza in front of the Hotel Regina, Viale 12 Giugno in front of the Appellate Court). A trip from the train station to the BCSP office in Via Malcontenti will cost approximately 5-7. A trip to the airport from the BCSP office will cost about 20-25. Costs will vary if late at night, very early in the morning, or in traffic during commuting hours. Remember: -Taxis cannot be hailed on the street. -There are surcharges on luggage. -Drivers are not tipped. However, you may want to tip a driver 1 if he/she helps you with loading your bags into the trunk. You can also call a taxi by sending an sms to: 3333330749. Write the city (Bologna) and precise address. You will receive a response sms from the taxi company with the car identification number and wait time.

Bolognas train station is one of the major train stations in Italy. It is located in Piazza Medaglie dOro, close to the city center and served by many bus lines. The ticket office is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Complete schedules are posted in the train station waiting area and/or along the platforms, binari. Schedules and purchasing tickets TRENITALIA www.trenitalia.it or FERROVIE DELLO STATO www.ferroviedellostato.it - high speed and regional/ local trains.

TRAINS

validated before boarding by punching the ticket in one of the yellow machines found throughout the station or along the platforms. If you are travelling on a round-trip open ticket, you need to validate the ticket twice (going and returning). Before departing always remember to check for strikes. The website www.infrastrutturetrasporti.it is constantly updated with national and regional strike information. This information is also usually published on the Trenitalia/Ferrovie dello Stato websites. Please remember to sign the Vai in Viaggio??? sheet in the office when making travel plans. For your own safety, we need to have a contact number where you can be reached when you travel outside of Bologna. If you have a cell phone, make sure we have the number and that you either leave the cell phone on or check your messages. Reimbursements All passengers (re: Trenitalia trains) are usually entitled to a bonus if the train is significantly delayed or if the heating or air conditioning units were malfunctioning during the trip. To request a bonus, go to the station and ask for a bonus form, un modulo per un bonus, at the Ufficio Assistenza Clienti or at the ticket counter. Fill in the form and attach your ticket. Find the address of the destination train station on the back and send the form+ticket to that station. (For ex: if you travelled from Bologna to Roma Termini, you will send the bonus request to Roma Termini.)

AIR TRAVEL

Guglielmo Marconi International Airport www.bologna-airport.it Bolognas airport is the third most important airport in Italy. You can reach the airport by taxi or by using the Aerobus-BLQ service (starting at 6am and ending at 11.40pm). The ticket costs 6,00 and may be purchased on board. Travel time from the airport to the city center is about 25 minutes. There may be a longer wait at the train station stop, which you should factor into your travel time. For the Aerobus timetable and bus stops go to: www.atc.bo.it/orari/aerobus-collegamento-aeroporto-stazione STUDENT TRAVEL AGENCIES CTS CENTRO TURISTICO STUDENTESCO, viale Filopanti 4/m, tel. 051 237 307, Mon-Fri 9:30am1:30pm/2:30pm-6:30pm and Sat 10am- 2:30pm. *At CTS you can purchase an ISIC internationl student id card, in case you were not already issued one in the United States. It costs 10 and youll need a student ID card or documentation verifying your enrollment status at your home school.

HOTELS

A passport is necessary to check into hotels in Italy. If you do not have your passport, the hotel will not proceed with the check-in. Italian anti-terrorism laws (and other European countries have similar rules) require that hotels give a list of all guests to the local police station. INTERNATIONAL ENTRY/EXIT COUNTRY REQUIREMENTS If you are studying abroad on a U.S. passport, and you plan on travelling to other countries outside of Italy, or the EU, check the U.S. Department of State website (travel.state.gov) for entry/exit requirements, such as a visa, or for information on safety/security/required vaccinations. Check the requirements for all countries that you will be passing through. If you are not studying abroad on a U.S. passport you should look for this type of information (for exampledo you need a visa to visit any countries other than Italy?) on the website of your native countrys consulate or embassy in Italy or contact your consulate/embassy in the destination country. 12

Here is a short list of places where you can buy bikes in Bologna (a longer list is kept in the BCSP office along with a map of bicycle paths, piste ciclabili, in the city center): Bicycle, Via Petroni 22/A (tel. 051 265 195). Sells and buys used bikes. Opening hours: 9am 7pm. Tandem, Strada Maggiore 90/c (tel. 051 308 830). Sells new bikes and buys them back when you leave. Opening hours: 8:30am 12:30pm; 3:00pm 7:00pm. La bottega del ciclo, Via Massarenti 90/a-b (tel. 051 307 889). Il Market delle 2 ruote, Via S. Donato 1/c (tel. 051 245 433). Opening hours: 8:30am 12:30pm, 3pm 7pm. The municipality, Comune di Bologna, offers free bike rental from Piazza XX Settembre (in front of the Bus Station), or in Via IV Novembre (in front of the ATC office) just off Piazza Maggiore. In order to rent bikes you have to register in one of the various ATC offices in Bologna (see the BUS section of this Guide for addresses). You will be given a key to unlock the bike, and, after using your bike, you have to bring it back to the bike rack by a certain hour. You can rent bikes from 7.00 am to 11.00 pm. Bicycles sold off the street in Piazza Verdi/via Zamboni are stolen bikes and it is illegal to purchase these bikes. Be careful where you leave your bike. Bike theft in Bologna is rampant, and can happen anywhere you park your bike outside along a street. The only way to try to prevent theft is to buy a strong lock and chain, and always try to secure the bike to an immovable object, such as a lamp post. Try to avoid wrapping the chain around the wheel, as the thieves will detach the wheel to steel the bike.

BICYCLE

13

If you walk along Via Zamboni on a hot summer night, you are accompanied by the hushed chants of bici, bici.. and after if you answer you can get a bike for as cheap as 10 euro (15$). There are times where they tell you to wait five minutes five minutes so that they can go steel the bike right then and there to sell it to you. Seeing as almost everyone gets their bike stolen at least once while living in Bologna, you come to find that the cheap bike you buy one day is the same cheap bike someone else will buy a week later. When first arrived in Italy I thought going the stolen way was very tempting, however being a believer in karma I decided to try to use it as my last resort. Instead I put up an announcement on sites like Kijiji.it and Bakeca.it for a bike with a basket, light, and bell for around 35 euro. I was able to get some bites and decided to get one for 40 euro with everything I asked, which I thought was a steel since most legit bicycles cost 60 euros and up in Bologna bike stores. Waiting for the seller at the door of San Donato I was surprised to see a little old man turn the corner o a bubbly pink bike, basket and all. I paid him and became an official Bolognese biker. Seeing as the last time I road a bike I was seven, lets just say that my first commute to class was a wobbly one. I think I realized the other day just how much love I have for my bicycle. I rode into town to meet up with a friend and his roommate. Needless to say it started to rain, so I decided to go straight home. My bike on the other hand would be spending a bleak night locked up on an obscure street in the center, right under a tow away sign. I woke up in the morning with a sick feeling that my bike had been towed or even more likely stolen overnight. If it had been towed I would be in utter shock that in Italy getting internet in you apartment takes more than 2 months but one unattended bicycle is confiscated in less 24 hours. So pretty much I power walked to Via Marconi in hopes that my bike didnt get stolen. When I saw the pink rusty paint of my bike I swore, like a mother to a lost child, that I would never leave it alone again. I should really name it. Alessandra, 08-09

MEDICAL CARE
Bologna is known in Italy and internationally for its innovative and first-rate health care. EMERGENCY CARE For medical emergencies dial 118 to call an ambulance, or go to the nearest 24 -hour emergency room (Pronto Soccorso) at any of the following hospitals: Policlinico SantOrsola (www.aosp.bo.it) Via Albertoni 15 (just outside Porta San Vitale, between via Mazzini and Via Massarenti) Ospedale Maggiore Largo Nigrisoli 2 (off Via Saffi, outside Porta San Felice) Istituto Rizzoli (for orthopedic emergencies during the day- after 7pm go to Maggiore) Via Pupilli 1 (at the upper end of Via Castiglione, next to San Michele in Bosco church) Ospedale Malpighi (for eye/ophthalmologic emergencies only) Via Pelagio Palagi (behind SantOrsola) If you go to the pronto soccorso, and it is not a medical emergency, the hospital may ask you to pay a minimal fee, otherwise called il ticket in Italian, equal to about 18/25. GENERAL CARE Non-emergency medical care is obtained from a private doctor. Doctors and specialists indicate their offices with signs marked Ambulatorio. Patients usually call ahead for an appointment. Here below you will find a list of medical categories and professionals that you can contact directly or with the help of BCSP.

You may have to have a full dental consultation (the prima visita) and then return for a cleaning at another time.

PSYCHOLOGISTS/PSYCHIATRISTS The University of Bologna offers a free Counseling Service (SAP- Servizio di Aiuto Psicologico) to all enrolled students. The SAP office does not provide emergency counseling. Go to the SantOrsola (Via Albertoni 15, just outside Porta San Vitale between Via Mazzini and Via Massarenti) or Maggiore (Largo Nigrisoli 2, off Via Saffi outside Porta San Felice) emergency rooms for any mental health emergency. The SAP office is located on the 2nd floor of the University of Bologna Psychology Department in Viale Berti Pichat 5. It is open Monday Friday (excluding holidays) from 9am 1pm. Walk-ins only; no appointments. To schedule an appointment, go to the SAP office, fill out a questionnaire, and leave your telephone number. In approximately two days you will be called to begin counseling. The counseling service consists in 4 appointments (1 each week). If the counselor deems necessary during the fourth appointment, you may be prescribed additional free therapy. However, usually the four appointments are sufficient. SAP counseling is provided in Italian, but, upon request, it may be possible to schedule an appointment with a psychologist that speaks English. It would be best to indicate this preference on the questionnaire the first time you go to SAP.

CENTER FOR WOMEN AGAINST VIOLENCE La Casa delle Donne per non subire violenza Via dell Oro 3 Tel. 051 333 173 www.casadonne.it The center offers a variety of services such as: telephone counseling, in-person counseling, support groups, and documentation for research on the issue of violence against women. PHARMACIES AND PRESCRIPTIONS You can have prescriptions filled at any pharmacy, but they have to be prescribed by an Italian doctor. The pharmacist may ask to see your codice fiscale, which is indicated on your UNIBO student ID card. Ask the pharmacist for a receipt, scontrino. Send the receipt (you could keep a copy for your records) to your U.S. insurance company for a reimbursement. Typical over-the-counter medications, such as aspirin, cold/throat relief, vitamins, may be purchased without a prescription. If you use an over-the-counter medication in the U.S., and you would like find a similar product in Italy, bring the bottle with you or know the main ingredients. For example, the Italian head-ache medicine called Moment contains mostly ibuprofen, like Advil. Momendol contains naproxen, like Aleve. Tylenols main ingredients are acetaminophen/paracetamol, like Italys Tachipirina or Efferalgan. For any doubts or concerns, consult Dr. Williams (on the first page of the Medical Care section in this Guide.) Remember to tell pharmacists and doctors about allergies to any medicines and their ingredients. Just like in the U.S., Italian pharmacies sell generic brands, which usually cost less. Pharmacies take turns being open on Sundays and holidays. The list of Farmacie di turno are posted outside, usually near the door, of all pharmacies. The Farmacia Comunale in Piazza Maggiore and the pharmacy at the Bologna train station are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Body temperature in Italy/Europe is considered normal from 35.5C up to 37C = 98.6 F. A light fever may be between 37C and 38C. 38C = 100.4F. 39C = 102.2F. 40C = 104F. A 41C fever and above is considered severe, and you should seek a doctor immediately or go the emergency room. HERBAL MEDICINE SHOPS Erboristerie (natural, homeopathic stores) are everywhere in Bologna. Some focus more on herbal remedies, others more on ecological/cruelty-free beauty products or vegetarian/vegan food, essential oils, teas. (Some pharmacies also sell homeopathic products.) (For health food stores, see the supermarkets section in the chapter on Shopping.) A few erboristerie in centro: Artemisia, Via A. Righi 7/A La Bioprofumeria, Via San Vitale 36/H, www.labioprofumeria.it Erboristeria Montanari, Via Marsala 23/A Erboristeria Verde Essenza, Via Rizzoli 40/B Alkymeia, Via Ugo Bassi 31 Erboristeria La Madia, Via Fusari 6 Barbalbero Aromatario, Via Broccaindosso 16/A Erboristeria della Stazione, Piazza delle Medaglie dOro 2/4 LErbolario, Via Orefici 4/A, Via Ugo Bassi 10 LErica, Via Marconi 30/A LAgrifoglio Erboristeria, Via San Felice 118 La Salute Parafarmacia, Via Barberia 20

SAFETY
Bologna is generally a safe city. Use the same common sense caution in Bologna as you would in any major American city. For example: be aware of your belongings at all times; store wallets in deep backpack pockets or completely zip your purse; do not take your wallet out of your pocket or purse if someone asks you for money; be aware of your surroundings at ATMS; cover your hand as you type the pin at the ATM machine; avoid being too friendly if someone stops you on the street for any type of information or money; do not take dark or isolated streets home at night; opt for a taxi rather than a bus if its late. Be realistic about being a foreigner and how this may draw attention to you. After being in Bologna for a few weeks or months, it is easy to feel more blended in. However, something about your clothing, your accent, your stature or appearance may communicate that you are foreign. Although Italy is a democratic country, and Bologna a particularly liberal, very student-friendly city, like many American college-towns, there are still cultural differences to learn about and be aware of, especially when you are out at night with friends. Keeping a low-key profile generally contributes to being safe. General guidelines: Use common sense when walking around the city, especially in the evening or at night. Be aware of your surroundings and do not venture where you do not feel comfortable. Parts of Bolognas city center to avoid, especially at night, are Via Petroni (corner of Piazza Verdi), Piazza XX Settembre and the areas around the train station, Parco Montagnola. Be particularly careful on crowded buses, at bus stops and food or flea markets. These are primary locations for pickpocketing wallets or cell-phones. Be aware of how you are holding your bag or if its open. If you are carrying a backpack, turn it with the pocket facing you. If, for some reason, you have a lot of money on you, put it in a few different places, so that if you do get pick-pocketed, at least you wont lose everything. Bike theft is a major petty-crime industry in Bologna: if you buy a bike, do so legally and purchase along with it the strongest lock you can find. Try to walk in groups at night or, if walking alone, walk in well-lit areas. Avoid dark ally ways, parks and parking lots. To avoid having to walk alone at night, always carry an extra bus ticket and enough money for a taxi ride home. Never hitch-hike! Do not retrieve money alone from an ATM machine, or bancomat, at night. Avoid street vendors and anyone who approaches you asking for money.

19

Dealing with theft. If your wallet is stolen you should cancel immediately all atm cards, credit cards, etc. If your cell-phone is stolen, report the incident and number to the cellular company. Go to the Police Station (Questura- Ufficio Denunce) and file a denuncia (report) immediately. The Ufficio Denunce is located in Via degli Agresti (off of Piazza Galileo). It is open 24 hours a day, every day. You will need to make a list of everything that was in your wallet/purse. If your wallet or cell-phone is found, you will be contacted by the police. Bring a valid form of ID with you to the police station, if possible. If your University of Bologna ID card is lost or stolen, notify the BCSP staff. Contact a BCSP Staff Member Please keep your cell phone charged (both battery and money-wise) at all times as this is the most efficient and quickest way to reach you. It is imperative that you keep the BCSP staff updated with your current contact details (email and cell-phone number). In the event that the BCSP staff finds it necessary to give your phone number or email address to any BCSP affiliated person for emergency purposes only, we will presume that you give permission to do so. Please notify us in writing if you request that your contact information not be divulged. GROUP EMERGENCIES (ACT OF TERRORISM OR NATURAL DISASTER) In the event of an emergency caused by a major, tragic event please send a text message to any of the BCSP staff members to notify them about your safety. In the interim, the BCSP staff will attempt to contact all students. In the case the telephone network is down, students are required to gather at Neptune Fountain, should that location be unaffected, within 2 hours of the event, to meet with a BCSP staff member. Information about theft and emergency procedures are also on the BCSP website: www.bcsp.unibo.it/living/emergency_procedures.htm EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND PROCEDURES The Italian equivalent of 911 is 118. No matter which of the following numbers you call, your emergency will be taken care of. The main Italian emergency numbers that you should memorize in your cell phone are: 113 Police/ambulance (Polizia di stato/ambulanza) 112 Local Police (Carabinieri) 118 Medical emergency-ambulance (ambulanza) 115 Fire department (Vigili del fuoco) US EMBASSY AND CONSULATE GENERAL NUMBERS 06 46741 Rome 02 290351 Milan 055 266951 Florence 081 5838111 Naples PASSPORT / PERMESSO DI SOGGIORNO Keep a photocopy of these documents with you when in Bologna. When you travel outside of Bologna, you need to have the original documents on hand.

Pams (BCSP 08-09) Eggplant "Pasta" Ingredients for 4 servings: * 2 medium-large eggplants (2 melanzane) * Kosher salt, for purging (sale grosso) * 4 tablespoons olive oil (olio d'oliva) * 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (aglio) * 1/2 teaspoon chile flakes (peperoncini) * 4 small tomatoes, seeded and chopped (pomodorini) * 1/2 cup cream (panna da cucina) * 4 tablespoons basil chiffonade (basilico) * 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (parmiggiano reggiano) * Freshly ground pepper (pepe macinato) Directions: Peel each eggplant leaving 1-inch of skin at the top and bottom unpeeled. Slice the eggplant thinly lengthwise, about 1/4-inch thick. Evenly coat each slice with the salt and purge on a sheet pan fitted with a rack for 30 minutes. Water should be surfacing from the eggplant. Rinse with cold water and roll in paper towels to dry. Slice the pieces into thin strips to resemble pasta. In a large saut pan heat the oil. Cook two portions at a time for easiest and quickest cooking time. Add the half of the garlic and chili flakes and toast. Add half of the eggplant "pasta" and toss to coat. Add half of the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Add half of the cream and increase heat to thicken sauce. Finally add half of the basil and Parmesan and toss to combine. Season with pepper, no salt needed as the eggplant will have residual salt from the purge. Serve immediately.

Being here in Bologna gives you so many opportunities to try new things. My friend and I found out about a class that teaches you how to make pasta by hand, and she convinced me to go. I am a disaster in the kitchen, but I agreed to go nonetheless, and I had the time of my life. This really awesome old lady who has been making pasta for something like 12 years came and taught us how to make the dough, roll it out, and cut and bend it into different shapes. At the end we got to eat everything that we made, and it was absolutely delicious! The lesson took place at a gorgeous little bed-and-breakfast out in the countryside, and it was definitely one of the most authentic Italian experiences that I have had here so far. Even if you are a little skeptical at first, I highly recommend going out on a limb and trying things like the pasta class, because it really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!- Megan, 08-09

As Direttore Sportivo he often recruits students for the team. If youre interested in playing/auditioning (some experience is necessary) call Vincent: 335 520 9435. The stadium is in Via degli Orti 60 (bus 11, 36 or 51). Game schedules are posted online. www.warriorsbologna.it/ SOCCER (CALCIO) & BASKETBALL (BASKET OR PALLACANESTRO) Calcio is Italys favorite sport. The last 5 minutes of every news program, telegiornale or tg, is dedicated to soccer. Every city with a soccer team, squadra, has at least 1 or 2 soccer talk shows featuring sports journalists and the professional players. You can find info on Bolognas team, such as game schedules, at this website: www.bolognafc.it/ or watch Il Pallone nel 7 on the public television channel Rete 7 Monday nights starting at 9pm. You will notice that many Italian tifosi, or fans, become emotionally involved with the soccer games and seasons. Italians bond over soccer. Going to soccer games, or simply watching soccer on TV with Italian friends, is another way to immerse yourself in Italian culture. In recent years there have been riots and fights between fans in and outside of stadiums. The Italian government has taken measures to prevent this from happening, and Bologna has a safe stadium compared to other cities in Italy. If you go to see a game at the Bologna stadium, stay on the Bologna-fan side just for your own safety. If you go to see a game in another city, be careful of expressing a preference too loudly between the two teams. Bolognas stadium, Stadio Renato DallAra, is in Via Andrea Costa 174 (zona Saragozza) To buy tickets go to any Emilbanca branch (there is one in Piazza Maggiore) or try with www.bestticket.it

For basketball fans, Bologna also has two excellent professional teams: Virtus and Fortitudo. You can purchase tickets online at www.bestticket.it or through the teams websites: www.fortitudo.it, www.virtus. it. The Fortitudo games take place at the Palazzetto dello Sport in the city center (Paladozza Land Rover Arena in Piazza Azzarita), and Virtus plays at PalaMalaguti in Bolognas neighboring town, Casalecchio di Reno (Via Gino Cervi 2). CYCLING AND MOUNTAIN BIKING The bolognesi are very enthusiastic cyclists thanks to the winding roads through the hills outside the city. You could inquire at local bike shops about bike teams or check the UISP Bologna website, Ciclismo, for information on events and races: www.uispbologna.it/ Contact UISP if youd like to participate in the Cicloraduni, bike excursions with food stops along each route (early March end of October). 40
