☀️ Ferragosto in Bologna: the city is yours

Staying in Bologna this August?
Don’t worry — the city doesn’t close for Ferragosto. It simply changes rhythm. ❤️

August 15th is one of Italy’s most beloved summer holidays, and it’s a wonderful day to experience Bologna at a slower pace.

🌿 Start in the green
Spend the afternoon at Giardini Margherita and stop by Le Serre, where Ferragosto celebrations begin in the early evening.

🎨 Discover Bologna’s museums
Several museums and cultural sites remain open on Ferragosto — a perfect (and cool!) way to discover the city’s art, history and hidden treasures.

🍝 Take your time
Have a long lunch, wander beneath Bologna’s UNESCO porticoes and enjoy streets that are unusually quiet for a Saturday.

🌄 Escape to the hills
As the temperature drops, head towards the Bolognese hills for sunset. At Fienile Fluò, SPAZIO FRANCO / Miscele D’Aria Factory starts at 9:30 pm: an immersive sound experience dedicated to Franco Battiato.

🎬 Cinema under the stars
Or end Ferragosto with an outdoor movie at Arena Tivoli — one of those simple Italian summer rituals we love.

And if you feel like doing absolutely nothing?

That’s very Ferragosto too. 😎

Enjoy Bologna slowly. Eat well, walk less, stay out late.
You’re on holiday, after all.

Happy Ferragosto from UBologna ❤️unique unforgettable experience for you

Se chiedi a un bolognese qual è il suo angolo preferito di Bologna, difficilmente saprà risponderti con un solo nome.

C’è chi dirà Piazza Santo Stefano, chi Piazza Maggiore, chi la Fontana del Nettuno o il Quadrilatero. Qualcuno penserà alla strada dove è cresciuto, alla pasticceria della domenica mattina, a un ristorante che sa di casa, a un portico percorso mille volte o a un tramonto visto dai colli.

La verità è che Bologna non si lascia racchiudere in un solo luogo. È una città da vivere lentamente, da attraversare a piedi, da scoprire un angolo dopo l’altro. Sono proprio quei dettagli, spesso nascosti, a farla entrare nel cuore.

E oggi, pensando a Francesco Guccini, viene naturale ricordare anche le emozioni che questa città sa regalare. Le sue canzoni continueranno ad accompagnare le passeggiate sotto i portici e i ricordi di chi Bologna l’ha vissuta, anche solo per un giorno.

❤️ E voi? Qual è il vostro luogo del cuore a Bologna?

Può essere una via, una piazza, un portico, una pasticceria, un ristorante, una persona, un ricordo… o persino una canzone che vi riporta qui.

Raccontatecelo nei commenti. Bologna vive anche attraverso le vostre storie.

If you ask someone from Bologna what their favorite corner of the city is, chances are they won’t be able to choose just one.

Some will say Piazza Santo Stefano, others Piazza Maggiore, the Fountain of Neptune, or the Quadrilatero. Someone might think of the street where they grew up, their favorite pastry shop, a restaurant that feels like home, a portico they’ve walked under a thousand times, or a sunset over the hills.

The truth is that Bologna can’t be summed up in just one place. It’s a city to be experienced slowly, explored on foot, discovering one hidden corner after another. It’s those little details that make you fall in love with it.

And today, as we remember Francesco Guccini, it’s impossible not to think of the emotions this city inspires. His songs will continue to accompany walks beneath Bologna’s porticoes and live on in the memories of everyone who has experienced this extraordinary city.

❤️ What about you? What’s your favorite place in Bologna?

It could be a street, a square, a portico, a café, a pastry shop, a restaurant, a person, a memory… or even a song that always brings you back here.

Share it with us in the comments. Bologna lives on through your stories, too.

Cinema under the stars, timeless masterpieces, and the magic of Bologna. ✨🎬

Every summer, Piazza Maggiore becomes one of the most extraordinary open-air cinemas in the world, and this year’s 40th edition of Il Cinema Ritrovato is truly unforgettable.

We are especially excited about:
🎥 Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) by F.W. Murnau, opening the festival with a live orchestra performance.
🎥 Wild at Heart (1990) by David Lynch, introduced by Isabella Rossellini.
🎥 Vagabond (Sans toit ni loi, 1985) by Agnès Varda, one of the most powerful films ever made about freedom and solitude.
🎥 New York, New York (1977) by Martin Scorsese, a dazzling tribute to Hollywood musicals starring Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro.

For true film lovers, don’t miss the special tribute to Luchino Visconti at the beautifully restored Cinema Modernissimo, featuring rare materials dedicated to his work in theatre, opera, and cinema.

And the best part? 🏡 Casa Terracotta is just a few minutes’ walk from Piazza Maggiore, so you can enjoy these magical summer screenings and return home through the beautiful streets of Bologna.

See you under the stars. ✨

Some exhibitions are simply meant to be seen.
Others are meant to be experienced slowly.

If you’re staying in Bologna this season, there are two extraordinary art experiences just about one hour away by train — one in Florence and one in Parma — and somehow they seem to speak the same language.

In Florence, the powerful Rothko exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi and the suspended silence of the Monastery of San Marco invite visitors into a space of contemplation and stillness.

In Parma, Brian Eno’s “SEED” and “My Light Years” transform sound, light and time into immersive experiences that ask for something very simple — and today almost revolutionary:
to slow down.

To sit.
To listen.
To observe the smallest changes in light, sound and perception.

The languages are different, but the feeling is surprisingly similar:
a suspension of time, a sense of presence, an invitation to truly inhabit a space instead of simply moving through it.

In a world built around speed and constant distraction, these exhibitions remind us of the value of attention and quiet observation.

So if you’re visiting Bologna and looking for a meaningful day trip beyond the usual itinerary, both Florence and Parma are absolutely worth the journey this year.

And our suggestion is simple:
go slowly.
It’s part of the experience.
