DumBO

DumBO is a cultural and creative district in Bologna, set within the former Ravone railway yard and brought to life in 2019 through an ambitious urban regeneration project. Located just 1.5 km from the city’s main train station, it stretches across more than 40,000 square meters of warehouses and open-air spaces, hosting venues for live performance, sports, work, study, social gatherings, and civic participation.

Its daily rhythm unfolds through concerts, festivals, exhibitions, pop-up markets, talks, and corporate events. DumBO promotes a broad, inclusive, and contemporary cultural vision, welcoming diverse audiences and celebrating the meeting of artistic, creative, and social practices. It stands as an open, accessible place where people of all ages and backgrounds can engage in cultural and community-driven experiences.
