The “Treno della Barca” is a modern reworking of the
traditional Bolognese portico, restoring life to a
peripheral zone of the city and making evident its
never-ending expressive vitality and identity strength
rooted in a secular tradition.
The continuous maintenance of this and of other
residential structures of the zone, carried out mostly
by its own inhabitants, has protected this peripheral
part of the city against degradation, leading it to
become a model of social inclusion in addition to
architectural excellence.
