Disclosing Bologna. Stories of city life

Bologna is your birthplace, the place where you decided to spend your time, where then you feel at home.

It is the city where unconditional love is born for the beauty to be preserved and enhanced, for the relationships, born between a city alley and a natural path, so difficult to let go, for the passion you put into it when you commit yourself to what you care most about.

Disclosing Bologna is here, through the stories of those who have chosen it and live it every day as a project, destination or goal
