Evenings in Ferrara

So having been kept busy from morning to morning with 6 hour intensive italian classes, naturally during the afternoons and the evenings we all have been doing our best to explore Ferrara and blow off steam. The best way to do this?

Passegiata a mercoledi:

In the evenings in Italy after dinner, everyone heads to the center piazza to mingle and socialize, and in Ferrara the biggest Passegiata night is mercoledi (wednesday), and for us young people every other night is also for festaggiare or partying. This past wednesday was the first night we had a chance to go and it was shoulder-to-shoulder. Most people congregate around the Cathedral and the surrounding bars. We've met a bunch of italians, but university here has yet to start so most college kids are still out of town. As you can tell from the pictures below my candids need a little work so I have borrowed a couple of my friend's much better photos. . .
