Bologna mutates. Bologna rediscovers vast and fascinating long-forgotten spaces now ready to distill creativity. Bologna confronts its past, present, and technological future. Bologna grows. Bologna surprises.

First and foremost a place of political and social elaboration, but at the same time, one of the most popular destinations in Bologna (and not only in Bologna) when it comes to seeking out special and often international events. Inevitably distant from the usual club or concert hall dynamics both in appearance and in its imperative modalities, it transforms what could be a limitation into a source of great merit: each event feels unique and original. 

ROBOT returns to its place of birth, its deepest source of identity. It returns to the heart of the city. It returns to the trajectories of history, in search, as always, of the most atypical present and the most exciting future.

A special place for Bologna. A Baroque jewel born in 1733 that has seen everything happen, surviving even the ravages of war in its almost three centuries of life. Since the new millennium, it has lived through its rebirth. At present, it stands primarily under the sign of culture. And now, it will host some of the most exciting artists of ROBOT 2022.

The Accademia di Belle Arti. The city at its liveliest breath. Art in the hub of knowledge and learning, where everything can become a challenge. A crossroads of youthful energies, timeless values, and frescoes towards the future. It is a thrill in this 2022 edition to gain such a venue for the first time.
