    1. Bologna hat am 16. Jänner fast überall im Stadtgebiet eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 30 Stundenkilometern eingeführt - vor allem, um die Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr zu erhöhen. Der rechtspopulistische Infrastrukturminister Salvini von der Lega versucht diese Maßnahme teilweise rückgängig zu machen. Die Entwicklung in Bologna wird für viele andere italienische Städte Modellcharakter haben. https://www.repubblica.it/green-and-blue/2024/01/22/news/bologna_30_km_ora_proteste_mobilita_limite_velocita-421938294/

    1. On this model, students are responsible for their own education, often forming communities or societies to collaborate. Professors typically worked one-on-one with students, but from time to time would be enlisted to offer a series - or 'course' - of lectures on a given topic. The lectures could be (and often were) public, and were frequently attended by other professors in the same field.

      Reminds me of @KevinCarey1 describe the original university of Bologna, in his End of College. Don’t have the quote handy (one of many cases where #OpenAccess would allow for more thoughtful discussion), but the gist of that paragraph sounds similar to what @Downes is describing here
