Step & Connect: Bologna, City of Music

Step & Connect: Bologna, City of Music

Bologna’s musical heritage is so rich that UNESCO designated it a Creative City of Music: a recognition rooted both in the excellence of its past and in the vibrancy of its present.

This guided walk explores the many dimensions of the city’s musical identity, from its great eighteenth-century tradition and music education to theatres, contemporary culture, digital innovation and the creative industries.

After the tour, the experience will continue with an aperitivo and an opportunity to network with the other participants.

The tour is part of the Talent Welcome Program, Bologna for Talent’s programme designed for people newly employed by companies and organizations across the Bologna metropolitan area who want to discover the city and make new connections in an informal setting.

Tour locations:

• Sala della Musica – Salaborsa
• Casa Dalla
