9.50' Bologna by Halves
PETER NICHOLS of The Times says the Bolognese don' usually do anything by halves. whether it's eating or politics. But they have halved the estimated population growth in the new plan for the old city produced by Bologna's Communist Mayor, Professor Zanghert. This plan for restoring the old buildings and subsidising their upkeep is thought to be the most radical in Italy and a model for the rest of Europe. (Another talk by Peter Nichols : Monday, 10.5 pm)
