Bologna, 16 June 2024 – A disco in Rossini square. Put like this it might seem like one provocationgiven the history in the university area and the endless controversies with residents about noise.
And instead it is a project that will become realityprobably from June 25th, because whoever created it wants to combine both the approach from safe club (safe place) of Kindergartenand the desire – indicated by the administration – to channel the flows differently and decentralize nightlife.
‘It will be beautiful’ is the claim chosen, and ‘Zentrum’, this is the name of the idea that received the approval of the tender Bologna Summer 2024he tells it Alan Carianigeneral manager of the Kindergarten in via Calzoni.
“The idea of doing something in Piazza Rossini had been going on for some time – explains Cariani –. They called us both for the policies we apply and, I believe, for how we managed things in the fair area. Then, also pushed by the deputy mayor Clancy who knows us and follows us, we presented the project and we are very happy to arrive in the centre”.
The musical offering it will be composite. “Music with slightly higher decibels, still lower than an indoor disco and as usual, there will be on Fridays and Saturdays until 11.30pm – he explains –. While on the other days only piped music with quieter music – There will always be a little bar where we will provide food, but not only that: also live performances, DJ courses, cultural events that we will present better. The music program will be house and more summery, more ‘pop’ than the usual Kinder program. Then, after 11.30pm, we will invite everyone to continue to us in via Calzoni”.
So center and then outside, the pilot season can start. And the residents? “We are calm about possible controversies, we want to create a benefit for everyone and we will respect the right to sleep of those who live there – he concludes -. We will have minimal impact and bring life and culture. If you have any complaints, we will listen and address them.”
