The names of many great artists connect directly to Bologna. Is this why music comes immediately to mind when you talk about the city? Is this why Bologna has even received the prestigious Unesco award? There is so much more: behind the "big names" of nowadays, there is a very rich history of musicians, creatives, intellectuals, out-of-school students, entrepreneurs, record producers, collectives and associations, free radios.

You will discover it by taking a walk with one of its protagonists, which will lead you to the places where the different music was born and the artists left their sign: the great concerts, the Academies, the Conservatory, the recording studios, the dance clubs, the cellars of the bands, the festivals, the record shops... A colorful and unpredictable mosaic of circumstances that have favoured the development of a "brand" now known to the experts and the general public: Bologna city of music!

Many stories told right there, where the facts took place, where the sparks have turned on and from the seed has sprouted beautiful events that filled our country and the world with notes.
