Bologna and the Navile: Stories of water, ingenuity and memory – a special feature for the Passo dopo Passo Fair

A guided city walk led by volunteers from the Minerva Association along the Navile Canal, to discover one of the most important hydraulic systems in Bologna’s history. The route explores the relationship between the city and water: from the medieval canals that powered mills and industrial activities to the hydraulic engineering works that made Bologna a pioneering laboratory as early as the Middle Ages. During the walk, participants will also meet volunteers from the Il Nostro Navile association, who preserve and share the history of the canal and the surrounding area.

Each participant will receive a pair of Oxeego technical socks.
