Final comments
It was the great experience for my life! I wish I had had much more information to be well prepared before. If you have travel opportunities, try to take them(especially Naples). The people out there are very generous. In spite of that, be careful. The Erasmus students there were fine to meet.

Personal comments
The opportunity to learn Italian language was the primary factor of my student experience. Because of that I am still very sorry about not having had possibility to take part in the language course. The host university didn´t provide it...but at least I could learn the language in reading newspapers they provided for us.. Anyway, I could learn Italian thanks to my local friends and I liked it. Although I still make many mistakes. I am bale to take part in the most discussions.

Visit Swabian Castle, one of the pizzerias and cafeteries or restaurants. The cuisine of Bari is really good and worth trying!
