Sounded Market

Description

The Municipality of Bologna has officially assigned a disused market hall to the Orchestra Senzaspine, association that was a winner selected by the 2014 INCREDIBOL! call supporting Bologna's creative innovation. The association has been assigned the building to give it a new life through the project "Mercato Sonato".

Mercato San Donato, the traditional covered market of Bologna's neighbour San Donato that has been vacant for too long a time, will metamorphose into Mercato Sonato, lit. sounded market, which still evokes the name of its neighbourhood but also brings music in it. Mercato Sonato will be a new centre for cultural and arts production and social innovation. The Orchestra Senzaspine aims at bringing people closer to art, music and culture, creating and educating a new and involved community and audience, through diverse and flexible activities, often organized according to users' needs.

The market hall will become a multi-purpose centre and a meeting place to share and enjoy art in all its forms, from classical to electronic music, from poetry to contemporary theatre, from illustration to video mapping, from crafts to markets. Mercato Sonato will also be a place open to the public, where everyone can contribute to the co-design of future activities, even during the early stages of the redevelopment works.
