Bologna – city for young people - a photo on Flickriver

            It’s very noticeable how many young people there are in Bologna, in northern Italy. And it’s easy to establish why.

It's all to do with Bologna University, which was founded in 1088 and is the world’s oldest university in continuous operation. And with some 90,000 students on its books, it’s also one of the largest universities in Europe.

But there’s more to it than that. ‘Unibo’, as it’s known, hosted the first woman to earn a university degree and teach at a university, and the first woman to earn both a doctorate in science and a salaried position as a university professor. 

It also had a central role in the sciences during the medieval and renaissance periods, when it educated many mathematicians of the day, not least Copernicus. It has also taught a wide range of notable alumni, including Italian scientists, prime ministers and Supreme Court judges.

I photographed this student enjoying downtime with her friends in one of the main piazzas near their alma mater. What will she become – a scientist, prime minister, Supreme Court judge...?
