The City
The EGI Community Forum 2015 will take place in Bari (Apulian Region), a beautiful city in the South of Italy, the closest to the eastern world and for this named "Città del Levante". The city is characterized by a very active cultural life, due to it's University attended by many students from all over the South of Italy and from many Countries of the Mediterranean areas.
Furthermore, having been populated by Norman, Swabian, French, Spanish and Russian people, the city offers a particular multicultural environment, that can be admired even in it's diversified architectural structure and in some peculiar historical buildings.
Many places are worth to be visited, such as the Romanic Cathedral, "San Nicola" church, the Swabian Castle and more. A walk by the "fortino" and "lungomare" is a must.
The heart of the ancient city is a haunt for people looking for cookery, artistic and cultural experiences. Lots of events always going on at night. Baresan people are usually very friendly and welcoming, however, like in any other city in the world, they cannot prevent the muggers that can possibly be met.
