As a group we had our first walk from our first location Universita Luigi Bocconi, to the Torre Velasca Piazza.
The route was about an 18 min walk. At first arriving to the Universita, it is encompassed by a beautiful public park, with students and people buzzing all around. The closest feeling of this space would be Washington Square Park in New York. As we continued to walk down the path the buildings went from some student living apartments, to hip bistros and bars, and then to a residential area that was less modern with huge magnolia trees, and Jasmine growing everywhere.
There was a turning point when we passed an archive building that the whole front was covered in Medieval gothic text. Once we passed this building, the path we were walking was no longer inviting, and felt very stark. We arrived to the Torre Velasca, and the area was basically dead. The tower spread this cold feeling, and there was not many people walking in the area. It was very fascinating to see the transformation of our walk from the beginning to end.
