Edition 2025 — Portici Festival

The third edition of the Bologna Portici Festival took place from June 4th to 8th, 2025, intertwining heritage and creativity, past and future, memory and vision. With over sixty events including concerts, shows, dance, theater, guided tours, and workshops, the festival celebrated Bologna's porticoes as a UNESCO World Heritage site, animating Piazza Maggiore, Piazza della Pace, and the city's historic center with all free events.

The 2025 edition, the third, was held from June 4th to 8th, 2025, with a program of over sixty events spread throughout Bologna's historic center. The festival combined great music, popular culture, and urban heritage under the UNESCO-recognized porticoes.

Among the most significant events, on June 6th, the first summer evening on the Piazza Maggiore stage hosted an original production dedicated to the city's history, while on June 8th, there was great music with the preview concert of the Respighi Festival 2025. Also on June 8th, the music and dance of the traditional Bolognese Filuzzi animated Piazza della Pace, with the workshop "Impariamo la Filuzzi" (Let's Learn Filuzzi). All events were free, with open access or by reservation.
