We thought that anyone scrambling to find out the name of the center that Johns Hopkins opened in Asia in 1954 would need more than a powerful Internet search engine. It's still a mystery to me how butz33 got the answer in a mere 47 minutes.
Once again we're going to have to toughen up the weekly trivia test.
Here we go:
In a video embedded in a post earlier this week, we showed a small park next to the SAIS Bologna Center. What is the name of the park?
Here are two pictures of the park. More often than not, it's deserted in the winter, as it is in these photographs. We'll have to post some pictures of it when the weather turns a bit warmer.

The winning prize: a free lunch at Giulio's Bar.

Parco S.Leonardo!!
I think this is it. I found it only after I did a google search in italian! although I do not speak the language.
Best,

Ilektra is back! She won our first quiz in December, naming the founder of SAIS Bologna, and now she has done it again. It took a bit of work as a simple search in English was not enough. What does Ilektra win for her 2nd victory? Another free lunch? How about a picnic in San Leonardo Park once the weather turns warm? Bravissima, Ilektra! I was worried this would stump all our readers, but how wrong I can be.
Grazie!!I hope I will have a chance to be in Bologna soon. From the photos San Leonardo Park seems a very nice place!!
Good job Ilecktra! Enjoy the picnic :)

Giardino San Leonardo is adjacent to the Bologna Center, at the corner of via Belmeloro and via San Leonardo. It is a pleasant place to sit and read on a warm day. San Leonardo (Saint Leonard) was the 6th century abbot of Noblat in the Limousin region (Haute-Vienne) in France. He was highly venerated in the late Middle Ages and is the patron saint for prisoners, women in labour and horses. I don't think our students feel like prisoners!
NVM thank you :)
