This website, developed through the D-Sign agency for the Municipality of Bologna, in collaboration with the Bologna Museums Institution | Civic Museum of the Risorgimento and the Metropolitan City, celebrates the places, events, and people who marked Bologna’s history in past centuries. Through the ‘History and Memory of Bologna’ portal, biographies of artists, politicians, war casualties, and partisans come to life and dynamically connect with the locations, events, battles, monuments, and artworks that made them renowned.
The site offers an exciting journey through family micro-stories, city history, national and world events, providing access to tens of thousands of historical contents. These include documents preserved in public and private archives, until recently known only to a few experts, enriched with multimedia content for an in-depth understanding of the past.
Developed in accordance with AGID accessibility principles, the portal ensures clear and inclusive navigation for all users. Explore the site to discover the present through our historical roots, immersing yourself in a vibrant testament to Bologna’s culture and heritage.
