Anything special about SAIS Bologna?
Like many of our students, I'm new to the place, but so far it's all very interesting.
Anything special about Bologna?
It's a good representation of Italy. It has a lot of potential, but it's not clear whether it will take full advantage of it.

It's an Italian novel by Calvino: "Il cavaliere inesistente" ("The Nonexistent Knight").

Soccer. Definitely soccer.
