Fuori Museo: Donne di Bologna
Tour available in Italian only
To mark the L’Eredità delle Donne 2026 festival in Bologna, Reggio Emilia, Ravenna and at the historic venue in Florence, from 20 to 25 November 2026, Palazzo Pepoli invites you to discover the women who have shaped the history of our city in a special event as part of the Fuori Museo programme dedicated to them.
With Fuori Museo, history steps out of the halls of Palazzo Pepoli and returns to the very places where it took shape.
Accompanied by Maria Benassi, author of the book “Donne di Bologna” and our guide, we will set off from the Sala della Cultura and then head out into the historic centre, paying tribute to the female scientists, artists, teachers and noblewomen who have left their mark on the city of Bologna.

NB: Participants are advised that the tour will only take place once the minimum number of participants required has been reached. 48 hours before the tour, a confirmation will be sent stating whether the tour will go ahead or, should the minimum number not be reached, that it has been cancelled.
In the event of cancellation, the participation fee already paid will be refunded in full.
