★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As a student in Bologna, I know this place because so many of the younger generation would spend the night in front of this Basilica, I have spent my share of time on the benches close to this place and I’ve been in the bars surrounding the environment. If you go with your friends in the crowded night, or in the day, you will have different valuable experiences. There may be some people there that sell beer but as for the rest of the city your interaction with them is up to yourself.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Do step into the basilica, which is very special
indeed, with its mosaics that can be seen under water. The Basilica of San Francesco was originally consecrated to the Holy Apostles and then to Saint Peter, and dates back to the middle of the 5th century AD.
However, little or nothing remains of the old church, which was repeatedly restored over the centuries. In particular, from 1261 to 1810, and again between 1949 and today, the Franciscans chose it as their seat with the current name of St Francis.
During the restoration works in 1921 – concomitantly with the 6th centenary of Dante’s death – a lot of changes were carried out, and the Baroque superstructures were removed, giving back to the church its austere linearity, characteristic of the 14th century and more in keeping with the sensibilities of the Franciscan order.
