Exhibitions and performances

Palazzo Poggi hosts the exhibition on Bologna FC’s student players

Who brought the first football to Bologna? Who introduced the club’s red-and-blue colours? Staged in the heart of the University, the exhibition traces the pivotal role played by students in bringing football to Bologna, from the earliest matches, featuring “a handful of madmen chasing a ball” on the Prati di Caprara, to the foundation and early triumphs of Bologna FC.
