And then, from 23rd to 28th September 2019, the ephemeral installation QUESTA VOLTA IN TEATRO, which comes from an idea of Stile Bottega architecture, a young and dynamic studio specialized in retail and interior design, developed together with the Studio Associato Marchingegno and Baustudio, with the partnership of the Municipal Theater Foundation of Bologna and Bologna Design Week. The physical space of the theater is brought back to the center of the city scene, metaphorically recreating the city inside the theater.
