Lorenzo Sassoli de Bianchi takes us through his Bologna, rediscovering the places that have marked his upbringing. A sentimental connection with the city emerges, built over time through a widespread commitment to its cultural and civic fabric — from the Cineteca di Bologna to the Bologna Festival, to the San Domenico Center — which restores a lively relationship with the places and their memory.
Accompanying the text are images by Lorenzo Capellini, a renowned international photographer.
