"Please do not sleep at the Bologna Train Station (Bologna Centrale) at night if you're travelling alone. It's the most unsafe area of town. I've lived in Bologna for over several months and even my Italian roommates refuse to walk to train station by themselves after midnight.
It's safer during the day, but there are beggars who will bother you. I've had a guy hassle me for money in Italian, so I lied and told him I spoke only English. When it comes to money, everybody knows English! He proceeded to tell me "Give me your money." Ass. Also, watch your bags and your pockets in the train station.
There are drug pushers and other sketchy characters around at night. Don't look at them, or they will hassle to buy drugs, and if you refuse some of them even threaten you. If you must stay at the station, stay inside but don't wander around at night by yourself.
There's a McDonalds (which stays open pretty late) connected to the station and a convenient store. There's a tobacco store (cigs, stamps, phone cards, etc) and several magazine stands. I think there's a baggage facility but I might be wrong."
