BOLOGNA STREET ART TOUR
Historical centre and university district
Street art tour: historical centre & university district
Walking through the old town we learn how walls can have a voice: they tell us past and present stories, they make us reflect and wonder and they reveal us a bit of Bologna's most underground identity. The often politically motivated pieces can only be fully appreciated when their motivations and context is understood. The tour takes place mainly in the university area where we discover different projects of revitalization, hidden alleys, pieces of political and social criticism and the controversies behind this worldwide known and discussed form of art.
