Italian term or phrase: serbatoio di esperienze

"Alla soglia dei vent'anni, due anni dopo la scomparsa del padre, si trasferisce a Bologna, iscrivendosi alla Facoltà di Scienze Politiche. Deluso dall'ambiente accademico canonico, si rivela invece entusiasta e partecipe del fervore culturale e vitale del capoluogo romagnolo, serbatoio di esperienze alle quali rimarrà profondamente legato."

I'm struggling with the "serbatoio di esperienze (alle quali rimarrà profondamente legato)" part in particular.

Can anyone come up with any suggestions? They would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Explanation:
A serbatoio is some kind of vessel or tank that holds liquid, so his time in Bologna was like a vessel that contained meaningful experiences for him. Since any attempt to call it a container or a vessel in English would just sound strange, I would just say "source."
